Why can't my garden have common insects that are easy to identify. Can't find these in any of my books or on internet. Many similar but not identical.
CLOSED: 3 Beetles ID
These are true bugs, not beetles; the one in the first and third images appears to be a pentatomid, the one in the second and fourth images is in the family Miridae, it appears to be Deraeocoris ruber, a predatory species (see http://www.gardensafari.nl/pics/wantsen/blindwantsen/deraeocoris_ruber_hs7_2847.jpg for an image. Not sure at this time about the one in the fifth image...
Wow, you do know your stuff, many thanks.
Thanks, but there is far more I don't know than what I do...
Anyway, I think that your pentatomid is one of the species in the genus Carpocoris - http://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo246165.htm
Carpocoris fuscispinus would seem to be the closest match. Thanks again.
I can't be certain, but the one in your last image might be another mirid, in the genus Adelphocoris - http://www.tuin-thijs.com/images/insecten-frankrijk/860kl-adelphocoris-vandalic.jpg
By jove, I think your right. Looking at the original uncompressed photo there is definitely a dark patch at its rear end. That's all my bugs identified, just the three small moths to put names to...until some more crawl out of the woodwork tomorrow :-). Thanks
