Winged Wednesday 4/29/2020

[Eric Gofreed]

Today's Winged Wednesday are two macro photos of two leafhoppers. The first one is an adult and the second one is a nymph. Adults have fully developed wings and nymphs don't. These bugs are about 10 mm long

This is an adult leafhopper, the broad-headed sharpshooter (Oncometopia orbona)

This leafhopper is a nymph. The segmented abdomen is visible because there aren't any wings.

That's a lot more detail in the leafhoppers than I have seen before Eric. Not sure these guys will win a beauty contest

My offering for today is a pond in the Ridgefield Wildlife refuge and a few mallards.

 

[Eric Gofreed]

love the reflections, Alan. If you put all those mallards in a box, you'll have a box of quackers

Don't know, but it seems very curious. That was taken in the western cape of South Africa last year.

This weekend I went for a long walk on Sunday. I normally run atone these ponds that are about 2miles away. As I was walking in this area where I saw the blue birds a woman saw me carrying my camera and told me about the baby geese. They were so fun to watch...
