Red Aphid On The Tomato

Red Aphid

            Red aphid sucking the tomato's juice out. This red aphid is a very small insect  that  multiply fast especially in spring time. This kind of insect likes warm weather. This aphid here is feeding on the plant's sap by introducing his or her long, thin sucker into the tender part of the tomato.

            To get rid of this kind of insect just simply use hose and spray a jet of water directly to your plants where the aphids on. Make sure they will fall to the ground. To make sure they won't comeback, simply do this everyday.

Louisiana Red Wasp

     This is a red wasp. I found this playing on top of my outdoor grill. I actually ignored it at first, or let me say I was a little lazy to take pictures of this wasp at first. But after thirty minutes I stepped outside the house and this wasp was still on top of the grill. I said, "okay, you want me to take pictures of you, huh". Well, these are my favorites shots out of  thirty. I"m glad to share this to you.

     Wasps are commonly regarded as pests, but are rarely dangerous. All species can sting painfully.

Tomato Beetle

               Been raining all day yesterday, and I don't feel like going outside since it was so nasty and wet. So, early this morning I went outside to check some ripe tomatoes in my little garden. I found some good riped tomatoes, and I found one bad one with a tomato beetle on it. I hope I named it right (tomato beetle). Well, it's for you to judge if I'm right or not.

Close Up Photos Of A Stink Bug

           This might be stinky as it looks but when I took these shots I really didn't smell anything. I used  macro both of these shots.

           Other name of stink bug is brown marmorated stink bug. This insect belong to the family of Pentatomidae. This bug is native to China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan. This brown marmorated stink bug is considered  to be an agricultural pest because they can create large populations, which feed on crops (damaging production) and they are resistant to many pesticides. 

            They are a threat to soybeans, native and ornamental trees, cotton, corn,  vines, shrubs, weeds, and many cultivated crops.

 OTHER NAMES:

• Green stink bug - Acrosternum hilare
• Brown marmorated stink bug - Halyomorpha halys
• Southern green stink bug - Nezara viridula
• Rice stink bug - Oebalus pugnax
• Forest bug - Pentatoma rufipes

           

Orange Creature

           I don't know what's the name of this creature. It looks like an Aphid but not sure if it is one. The last time I saw an Aphid it was  a green one.

           Let me say today, I'm a little lazy to do a little search about this creature.

WASP IMAGES

             Was outside watering my garden when me and my husband found this wasp on my eggplant garden.    This is really scary! My husband can't stand looking at these images. When I took these shots it didn't bother me at all, but after being uploaded to the computer I'm kinda scared looking at these images too what if I got stung, ouch!!

SPIDER

MACRO SHOOT: SPIDER

        While being outside getting ready for grilling, this is what me and my husband saw...a spider! Well, I wasn't interested in taking pictures of this spider at all, but, my husband went back inside the house and got out back with my camera. What can I say? I think I influenced my husband in taking pictures....LOL! But, I'm the one who took this one :).
