Close up
Per Sue, this is a red-shouldered stink bug, presumably Thyanta pallidovirens. Wow, Sue's quick, fired out that answer within minutes of posting.
LOVE my smarty blog readers!! =)
Sun comets, streaking through space.
There's such motion and fire in their form.
Heaven.
Today, planning to yank "failure to thrive" tomato plants
and plant peas and broccoli.
I hate pulling live plants,
not even sure if I've done it yet,
but frankly,
they've looked so poorly all summer,
it'll be a relief.
And then, brand fresh baby plants! =)
I do love a good cotyledon...

It's a red shouldered stink bug. Doesn't do much damage---and they stink when you squish them!
ReplyDeleteOh, goodie, thank you SO MUCH! =)
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a bug squisher, hence the oval holes in so many of my tomatoes this year (urf). Plus, this guy's so beautiful, it's really doing a disservice to nature's palate.
Glad to put a name to a face.
I am envious of said stink bug...looks like a nice place to live.
