Taken the same day as the previous post, this was a firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus), or eldus. In Sweden, it occurs from Skåne up to Dalarna in association with linden and mallow trees. They feed primarily on the seeds from the previously mentioned trees and are found in aggregations on trunks of said trees depending on which side is sunny. Mating occurs April-May, which can last from 12 hours to 7 days with these long periods thought to be done by the male as a means of ejaculate-guarding against other males. Eggs are then laid in packages in intervals of 2 to 5 days. Eggs hatch in 10-14 in 18-20°C temperatures, but can be as early as 6-8 days in a warm and dry season, while under lower temperatures this can last until 24 days. Once hatched, it takes 2-3 months to develop into adults so long as the temperature is 15°C or higher. During winter, they shelter in aggregations within leaf litter around their tree trunks or in bark fissures. Under a protective snow cover, they can survive temperatures as low as -20°C. #animal #animals #djur #wildlife #insect #insects #naturliv #natur #fauna #arthropod #arthropods #insekt #insekter #invertebrate #bugs #invertebrates #truebug #redbug #redbugs #halvvingar #insectagram #animalia #arthropoda #insecta #hemiptera #pyrrhocoridae #pyrrhocoris #pyrrhocorisapterus #firebug #eldus (at Erkenlaboratoriet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CncWpigu_Bz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pharaoh Cicada | Cicadas | Locusts #shorts #cicada #locust #cutecritters #bytesizeambs #truebug

I've been so excited about posting this YouTube short. The Pharaoh Cicadas (17 Year Locusts) are out! It is so amazing to watch them molt and just be.

NOTE: Video quality is better when watched via YouTube. Info on Pharaoh Cicadas in the description of this YouTube short.

EDIT: Since YouTube has decided to keep deleting the description on this one video, I'm posting it below.

We were fortunate enough to see several Pharaoh Cicadas (17 Year Locusts) molting last week. It was amazing to see and I was able to get one on video for this short.

Pharaoh Cicada (Magicicada septendecim)

The majority of the life of Magicicada septendecim is spent in an underground or subterranean habitat. The area in which a periodical cicada brood is located must contain a large population of deciduous trees, on whose roots the cicadas feed during the underground nymph stages. The trees are also necesary for the molt into adulthood, choruses, and egg-laying (Boyer 1996). (iNaturalist)

Habitat Regions: temperate ; terrestrial

Terrestrial Biomes: forest

Other Habitat Features: suburban

Cicadas can provide several environmental benefits, including:

Food source for predators: Cicadas are a valuable food source for birds, reptiles, insects, and mammals

Soil improvement: Cicada tunnels aerate the soil, and their decomposition adds nutrients to the soil

Tree pruning: Cicadas prune mature trees, which can lead to increased flowering and fruit production in the following year

Water filtration: Cicadas improve water filtration into the ground

Damsel Bug (Nabis roseipennis) on my Parents' Farm, April 2018. Damsel Bugs are small delicate-looking insects but they are also formidable predators, consuming basically any insect prey smaller than themselves. Some species are common in farm ecosystems, feeding on many pest species. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #damselbug #nabis #nabidae #heteroptera #truebug #truebugsofinstagram #macrobug #macroinsect #insects #norfolkcountyontario #blognorfolk #agroecosystem (at Norfolk County, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHkrI1g9-s/?igshid=e36i2av1nm8a

Scenes From My Walks - Mating Red Shouldered Bugs. This looks strange in real life as the larger one (female I think) is pulling around the smaller one (male I think. I am reminded of the pushmi-pullyu from the old Dr. Dolittle movie. “The red-shouldered bug prefers to feed on the goldenrain tree and chinaberry tree, but may also be found on althea (rose-of-sharon), arbor vitae, Western soapberry trees, boxelder trees and some fruit trees. The early stage nymphs are bright red with black legs and no wings.” - New Mexico State University CACES #ScenesFromMyWalk #RedShoulderedBug #RedShoulderedBugsMating #TrueBug #MatingBugs #Insects #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae #Entomology (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiuqzYvuI4-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Taken 2022 31st August, this was a European alder spittle bug (Aphrophora alni) I found on the bus. In Sweden, they occur wherever forest edges, hedgerows, meadows, gardens, and parks are present. Contrary to their name, these spittle bugs don't only feed from alder trees as bushes and trees of different species are also taken, with adults prefer deciduous trees while larvae prefer herbaceous plants. They can be seen from May-October, with their life-cycle beginning in spring hatching from eggs laid close to winter. The nymphs live on the stems and leaves of herbaceous plants protected from exposure by a foam made from plant sap until they've reached their imago stage. Eventually, females will mate and will deposit her eggs on herbaceous plants close to winter, where they overwinter until the following spring starting the cycle over. #animal #animals #djur #natur #naturliv #wildlife #insect #insects #insekt #insekter #nature #spittlebug #spittlebugs #bugs #bug #arthropod #arthropods #invertebrate #invertebrates #truebug #truebugs #insectagram #animalia #arthropoda #insecta #hemiptera #aphrophoridae #aphrophora #aphrophoraalni #europeanalderspittlebug https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSQ_p7Kw_T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

True bug The Heteroptera are a group of about 40,000 species of insects in the order Hemiptera. They are sometimes called "true bugs", though that name more commonly refers to the Hemiptera as a whole.
