A big bug, and a tiny bug

[MacEntyre]

What are these things?

The big'un is like a waspish june bug, which shot out some kinda white stuff.





The tiny bug is only 1.5 cm long.

 

[MacEntyre]

This is what the big'un spewed out.

The tiny bug removes heavy metals from the ground. The other is some kind of werewolf moth

I’m thinking the big one had a bowel movement.

 

[Shady Grady]

Did you take this famous bigfoot photo?

It’s almost like an old man with no balance took it.

You never seen white bird poop?

 

[Burt Gummer]

You never ween white bird poop?

No, I haven’t weened anything

 

[HandyDave]

The little bug looks like what I know as rollie pollie. I'm sure that's not there technical name

Maybe he is teaching Nomi to use the camera.

The little one looks like those little critters you see in the sand at the edge of the surf.

 

[Burt Gummer]

On second thought, the lil bug could be a sow bug which is different from the roly poly

 

[Jeppo]

Maybe Nomi he is teaching Nomi him to use the camera.

FIFY 😂

 

[Windini]

That's not a bug! That's a double feature!

Little one is definitely a wood louse.

Your wife have a real camera instead of the potato you took these photos with?

The first one could be a blister beetle, boxelder bug, milkweed beetle, but almost looks like a moth. Were the wings fuzzy or clear?

 

[Red Marley]

What did you take those pictures with, a potato cam?

 

[MacEntyre]

Wifey wants to know how to get rid of 'em in her greenhouse...

[MacEntyre]

Wifey says y'all need to focus...

Get me a better photo, I might can help.

The wood louse is fine; they're a beneficial crustacean (not an insect at all).

I'm sure she said something about focusing...

Cicada Killer?

 

[MacEntyre]

Y'all need to know... Wifey won't let me kill this bug. It's doin' the shakin', not me!

I jus' let it go. No more pictures.

Biggun looks like a variety of sphinx moth. Littlun is a wood louse.

Thought she was an eye DR? Is she stoned or something? Maybe equip needs calibration? I had a seizure just looking at those pics.

 

[wheelgun_man]

The big one looks like a Hornworm Moth. I'll side with @yard mongrel on the small one.

100% a rollie pollie. Had them in Commifornia.

Edit: eh maybe not. I don’t think their little antler/feelers are that long.

 

[yard mongrel]

The big one looks like a Hornworm Moth.

The abdomen sure does. But I can't make out anything about the wings. Do you know anything about them expelling piles of white goo? It also makes sense they would be in a garden since their larva eat tomato plants.

I'll send ya some more via PM!

DE doesn't work well when wet. We've been using neem oil and pepper dust (after watering). I'ma gonna try it anyway. Thanks!

Last year we had a ton of hornworms.

This moth's wings were damaged, not sure how. It was crawling around in circles when I collected it. Thanks, @yard mongrel I think you got it!

 

[MacEntyre]

Discussed it with Wifey... she damaged the Hornworm Moth's wings by spraying with water when she discovered it. DE is best for getting rid of slugs, but might be bad for the good bugs. She's already using Bt, but needs some more. She wants to try tea cup saucers full of beer for eliminating slugs, but all my beer is porter an' such.

I need to find someone willing to buy some Bud Lite for me...

Diatomaceous earth is interesting stuff. Apparently it has a physical effect on bugs. It kills them when they walk through it. Here is what it looks like under a microscope.

 

[MacEntyre]

Wifey said, "No, it's a tobacco worm moth... like a hornworm moth but different species... both can be found on tobacco and on tomatoes."

I said, "What does it matter?"

She smiled and said, "Yeah, who gives a...!"

Rare for her to use that kind of vocabulary!
