Bugs (true bugs I think) ?



Nymphs of some sort. I see them hanging out in the morning. Its getting colder, I'm not sure if they can overwinter or if they've got bad luck

Edit: They're probably Large Milkweed Bug (Oncopeltus fasciatus) nymphs.

Yep definitely these, I'd seen the adults earlier in the season, looks like they do overwinter so hopefully the little dudes figure it out

Robber flies don't really bite people unless you're loving with them? Perhaps it was a horse or deer fly you are thinking of. Or perhaps I do not have comprehensive robber fly knowledge, also quite possible

I actually had a disney princess moment where I saw a robber fly drowning in a bird bath, fished it out with a stick and resumed weeding, and about 15 minutes later it landed on my chest for a couple moments before taking off. Now I'm wondering if it was instead weighing its chances... :thunk:
