Assorted bugs, part 3
This tiny creature is a black-and-red froghopper, a cicada. When disturbed, it jumps away and can then float on its wings for several yards, meters even:
Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/250
Many species of froghopper's nymphs hide in froth they make to protect them from predators:
The experts I consulted are still out on what type of Ichneumonida this is; it's probably a variety of Xorides filiformis, but that one normally has orange legs. I told the critter that, but it insisted on keeping its black legs:
Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/80
This bog bush-cricket is found almost exclusively on heather:
Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/200
The pellucid fly looks like a bumblebee, but it is actually a hoverfly:
Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO320, f4, 1/125
Another hoverfly, pretending to be a wasp:
Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/160
An unidentified grasshopper, wondering how to take off after an awkward landing (it actually jumped straight into the ground after this picture was taken, but walked away unharmed):
Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO160, f8, 1/400
More when I find them.
