#insects #invertebrates

Photograph of a shield bug standing over a clutch of bright green eggs on the underside of a partially eaten Red Ash leaf. The bug Is bright green with orange "horns" on the side of its thorax, which is speckled with dark red and has two large white patches in a red triangle. Its eyes are purple and its antennae are orange.

Close-up of the same subject focused on the bug's face. The facets of its eyes can be distinguished, as can its mouth parts. There are two small, bright red ocelli (simple eyes) on its head, positioned behind and above the compound eyes.

Here's a fabulous arachnid for the feed tonight, a Giant Velvet Mite. Their bright colors appear to be aposematic, warning potential predators of their unpleasant taste and smell.

The Aussie Bird Count for 2025 is underway so I went to Pitt Town Nature Reserve yesterday where I was delighted to a pair of immature White-bellied Sea Eagles to my list!

You can go to aussiebirdcount.org.au to participate in the count
#AussieBirdCount #BirdLifeOz

Photograph of a pair of White-bellied Sea Eagles landing on the upper branches of a dead tree, legs down and wings stretched. They have wide wings but short and stout bodies with broad but short tail feathers. They are coloured in mottled brown and white with dark flight "fingers".

Photograph of one of the immature White-bellied Sea Eagles flying past the author's hide, lit by the late afternoon sun against a blue sky. The bird is a striking blend of white and black with shades of brown, a heavy greyish beak, brown eyes, and strong yellowish feet. The brown colouration indicates its immaturity.

I was doing yard work today and upon finding a Bald-faced Hornet I did what any normal person would do and got my camera out. She did not appreciate me and flew off into the woods. Bald-faced Hornets are a species of yellowjacket.
(Dolichovespula maculata) PA #inverts

It’s the second day in a row of seeing a Painted Lady in the garden. Very fleeting visit both times, so here’s a pic from earlier in the year.
