more bugs from my travels... two very fashionable red-and-black froghoppers

Are their other bugs with pupils like a Mantis?

Yep! This feature is often called the pseudopupil and it occurs, the way I understand it, when the ommatidia (the individual segments you can see that make up a compound eye) absorb light when viewed head-on while ones at other angles reflect the light.

Apart from mantises, this can be observed notably in insects like damselflies, froghoppers, and leafhoppers, among other species.

and it can also be observed in crustaceans like fiddler crabs and mantis shrimp.

Yet more insects have a multitude of similarly dark spots as well rather than just one, including some wasps! You may hesitate to call this many spots "pupils" though.

03/06/2022-Blog 2 of 2: Martin Down

We came here for the second bank holiday Friday running and it was nice to see the landscape looking so green with the grass so high and some interesting cloud formations on the walk. I took the second, fourth, fifth and sixth pictures in this photoset of views here today. It was a top walk of birds especially for warblers and especially along the hedgerow near the lower car park with great views of Whitethroat and Chiffchaff hearing the latter there well too, the species these bushes pleasingly teemed with included Chaffinch, Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer, Wren and many Woodpigeons too with Yellowhammer seen elsewhere on the walk too. I saw a very pretty female Blackcap with its nice nice brown head really well later in the walk. It was also great to see scores of Rooks all in and around one tree a key bird here which the seventh picture I took today in this photoset shows and a Red Kite flying over. There was a marvelous moment late on when walking the other way along the path a little way from the lower car park after a great walk round the reserve, when I heard and briefly saw an exotic Mediterranean Gull or two. A special inland sighting of this bird, not one I’ve seen at Martin Down before. I saw a Lesser Black-backed Gull just before not one I’ve seen here before either I don’t believe, you do find gulls in this sort of rural inland habitat especially near to landfill sites, it was just nice to see a variety of them today.  

Small Blue butterflies made a nice sight in the world of insects, as did Five-spot Burnet moths, a nice black caterpillar which I took the eighth picture in this photose of and a couple of different types of beetle. I also very much enjoyed seeing a red-and-black froghopper. A type of insect I’ve heard of before as their larvae form cuckoo spit when sucking sap which I saw again today and have had my best year ever for noticing, so I really liked seeing an adult and I was so pleased to see such an attractive and colourful insect on a blade of grass a real highlight today.

It was brilliant to see loads of Hares at least eight looking over the neighbouring field after seeing the Mediterranean Gulls a place we often see Hares and we got a nice intimate view of one which I took the tenth picture in this photoset of. Special views of a mammal I am really excited by and admire and have had a good year for so far.

Pretty honeysuckle which I loved seeing today and took the ninth picture in this photoset of a lot it together at the top of a tree I did a macro closeup photo too, possible honesty and scabrous were floral highlights of the walk. I also enjoyed seeing kidney vetch, bird’s-foot trefoil, buttercup, possible common rock-rose, speedwell, dog rose, sorrel as shown in the third picture in this photoset, herb-Robert, nightshade, violet, plantain, nice lacey flowers I believe carrot, I believe elder,  mignonette again here and dropwort in a great show of flowers today. A very fun packed day again today that it was so great to be out in.

Wildlife Sightings Summary: One of my favourite birds the Red Kite, one of my favourite moths the Five-spot Burnet, my first ever Red-and-Black Froghopper, Rook, Jackdaw, Magpie, Woodpigeon, I believe Grey Partridges quickly, Blue Tit, Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer, Whitethroat, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Chaffinch, Wren, Mediterranean Gull, Black-headed Gull I believe too, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Speckled Wood, Small Blue, possible Meadow Brown, moths, caterpillar and the beetles.

“Guilds of arthropods found on wild roses in southern Alberta ...”

Guilds  of  arthropods  found  on  wild  roses  in  southern  Alberta. Fig.  2. Field  of  wild  roses  near Pincher Creek, Alberta. Fig. 3. Redhumped caterpillar, Schizura concinna (Smith). The caterpillars of this moth in  the  family  Notodontidae  consume  the  entire  leaves  of  many  species  of  shrubs  and  trees,  leaving  only  the veins. The  fourth  body  segment  is  red  and  distinctly  humped,  with  two  prominent  black  tubercles,  or  spines. These  caterpillars  usually  rest  with  the  hind  end  elevated. Adults  are  an  inconspicuous  grayish-brown  moth. Fig.  4. Leaf mine caused by tunnelling larva of a fly of the family Agromyzidae. Larvae feeding between the epidermal layers of the leaflets make serpentine mines that increase in width as the larva grows. Larvae then exit the leaves and drop to the ground, where they pupate and overwinter. Fig. 5. Long-horned beetle, likely Gnathacmaeops  pratensis  Laicharting  of  the  family  Cerambycidae,  feeding  on  pollen. All  members of this large family are phytophagous and the adults of many species feed on pollen. Larvae of most species are  wood  boring  and  prefer  weakened  or  dying  trees. Fig.  6. Crab  spider, Misumena  vatia (Clerck),  of  the family Thomisidae, sitting in a flower sucking the blood of a bee it has captured and paralyzed. Crab spiders are commonly called “flower spiders” because they are found on flowers lying in ambush for prey. Crab spiders  change  the  colour  of  their  bodies  depending  on  the  substrate  on  which  they  are  hiding  in  order  to camouflage themselves. Prey is captured with the front legs, which are longer than the others and are held out to the side, giving them a crab-like appearance. Fig. 7. Nymph of a spittle bug, Philaenus spumarius (L.). Nymphs  of  spittle  bugs  avoid  desiccation  by  surrounding  themselves  with  a  frothy  mass  of  bubbles  made from fluids voided from the anus, along with a mucilaginous substance secreted by epidermal glands on the abdomen. Adults, which are about 8 mm in length, are called froghoppers because they look like tiny frogs. Fig. 8. Larva (arrow) of the rose stem girdler, Agrilus aurichalceus, feeding in tunnels it has excavated in the cambium beneath the bark of a stem. Girdling by the larva severs vascular bundles, preventing water from passing beyond the feeding site, and the branch dies. The adults are small (6 mm) golden to bronze-coloured metallic beetles that find new shoots in May and June and oviposit just under the bark. The larvae hatch and begin burrowing under the bark, spiralling outward from the oviposition site. Infested stems begin to wilt by late July and then die by August or September. Fig. 9. Larva of a June beetle, Phyllophaga sp., feeding on roots. Adults are robust beetles about 15–20 mm in length and are dull brown. Adults fly in the evening and often turn up at lights from mid-May to early July. Identification of four species found on the prairies requires examination  of  genitalia. Fig.  10.  Nymph  of  a  cicada, Okanagana sp., feeding on fluids of roots. Cicadas are found throughout the grasslands wherever there are woodlands or thick brush. They spend most of their lives underground as larvae and take from 4 to 9 years to mature. Adults appear from late May to late July. Photo credits: D.J. Larson (Fig. 8); J.D. Shorthouse (all other figures).

Nuttall’s blister beetle, Lytta nuttali, of the family Meloidea, shown on silver lupine, is one of the largest and most conspicuous blister beetles on the prairies. Blister beetles get their name from a toxin called cantharidin found in their body fluids. Hemolymph (blood) containing this toxin is exuded from the leg joints when they are disturbed.  The  toxin  protects  the  beetles  from  being  eaten  by  birds  and  certain  predaceous  insects  and  causes blisters  on  contact  with  human  skin.  The  larvae  are  predacious  on  grasshopper  eggs  and  the  adults  feed  on plant foliage and flowers. They can become pests of alfalfa, corn, beans, and ornamentals when grown next to rangeland. Photo by D.J. Larson.

Painted  lady, Vanessa  cardui (L.). This butterfly does not overwinter in Canada, with its populations depending on yearly recolonization by migrants from the southwestern United States. In some years, this species is absent, whereas in other years, it is dominant and its larvae defoliates most thistles. Photo by D.J. Larson.

Big sand tiger beetle, Cicindela formosa, of the family Carabidae, subfamily Cicindelinae, is a common ground  dweller  in  dry  upland  areas,  blowouts,  and  edges  of  sand  dunes  in  grasslands  from  British  Columbia to southern Ontario. Like all tiger beetles, they have long legs, run and fly fast, and have large mandibles for capturing prey. Larvae are also predacious and live in vertical burrows in the soil. They prop themselves at the entrance to their burrows and wait with jaws wide apart to capture passing insects. Photo by D.J. Larson.

Canonical FR fact of the day; #2

The Alder Spittlebug, unlike its real-life counterpart Aphrophora alni has a bright red chest marking, a display of aposematism (the evolutionary trait of having bright colours in order to ward off predators). While this is not seen in the Common Froghopper, which is a dull beige, its other ‘cousins’ the Red and Black Froghopper and the Rhododendron Leafhopper arguably also show aposematism.
