Loam Gnome Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 She was saying it so quietly so you would lean in closer, and then WHAM! she would have her pincers stuck in your tympanic membrane before you could say Labyrinthitis.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zug Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I remember checking this thread out in October last year when I first stumbled upon uk420... I was blown away by the pics. Great thread, and now I am proud to add my own, from our "intruder alert" wind up... this little fella was taking a rest on the best seat in this particular woods! I think Gnome said it was a firebug or something? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guerrillero Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) 20 ft from my plants today was this load of squigglers (Squiggelaria ickius).... Funnily enough, I was wading through some nettles to get to a plot yesterday and nearly walked into a cluster of the exact same creatures. I'm a nature lover but I'll admit, it did make me recoil a bit. Anyone know what they are exactly, what butterfly/moth do they turn into? I'd be really interested to know.

AustrianToker Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Some critters are more welcome than others... Had to take a picture of that fellow, as he was hiding within the purple buds of the frisian dew a couple years back... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zug Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I think Gnome said it was a firebug or something? Think i've managed to ID it as a Rhagonycha translucida, otherwise known as a "Soldier beetle" or "Sailor beetle": http://www.uksafari.com/soldierbeetles.htm https://www.google.co.uk/search?bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.48293060,d.d2k&biw=1755&bih=918&wrapid=tlif137207148364110&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=PSbIUeS-Fs3vOd7lgKAL&q=Rhagonycha%20translucida Edited June 24, 2013 by zug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubSpecies Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Yes Zug, that's the little intruder, nice one man! All these pictures in this topic are going in a special folder called 'Wildlife On Weed Creature ID', all good for future references, the Latin names go along way. It's amazing what we can find drawn to our herbs AustrianTokker, is that in UK? I'd like to find the Latin name, looks like it's in the Cricket family, but which one, mmmm......

AustrianToker Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Cricket was in Austria, but not the one you see every day - actually never seen one like that before, hence the picture... Perhaps he was getting high and turning purple! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
