Hi,,

The study of insects is called entomology . The first 3 insect are nocturnal moths,, the next is a ladybird/ladybug,, and the last is a juvenile grasshopper/cricket. Cool photos

Hope this helps

From the thickness of the abdomen and the colour, I would say the last one is a katydid of some kind.

Centipedes are good for soil ... (they eat pests)

millipedes (the black things with more legs) can be bad for soil (they invade root systems)

i'll post up more images as and when,, for now tortoiseshell butterfly

and an orb web spider,,

Hey, I too have common garden orbweavers around here (Araneus diadematus). They can come in brownish, greyish or orangish colours - just look for the cross-shaped spot pattern on their back to ID them.

Also here's pix of 2 other spiders, a pholcid (Pholcus phalangioides), and a yellow sac spider (Chiracanthium mildei)...


Peace

I have a few wolf spiders living in my indoor garden and it's all good. They take care of anything that crawls threw the cracks. Earwigs (pincher bugs) have been a real problem as I live near the ocean. They are friggen nasty, harmless but nasty.

I can ID your 2nd and 3rd pics. Second looks like a Tomato Hornworm.

The 3rd is a Edit: Not a Monarch caterpillar, just noticed it had extra "whips". Looked it up, it's a Queen Butterfly larvae...

http://bugguide.net/node/view/298144

To guess on the 1st, I'd guess a subspecies of wooly bear caterpillar perhaps? Ours here have more hair and are black and orange. Yours has similar hair length and body shape, but hair is sparser...

Edit: (or not, no matching pix on bugguide under "wooly bear")



Peace

 

[s13sr20det]

Mantis..

Mantis..

Hey..some nice pix in here. This is a Praying Mantis shot I captured awhile back..fits in here as a bug..doesn't it? I think it just emerged from its cacoon or whatever as it is very pale. This one was about 4 inches long. DD

Here's a few I've found roaming around.

Dragonfly

Random moth

[Lone Wolf]

cool pix dudes!

i think i like looking at pictures of bugs as much as i like looking at BUDS....

its amazing how many different "alienish" types of bugs there are on our planet.......

i sent a message to someone here saying that i have a personal belief that bugs are aliens that hitch rides on meteors that enter our atmosphere...
