Plant bug, Lygus hesperus (Hemiptera: Miridae) missing a middle leg

Head of the leafhopper, Scaphytopius elegans (Homoptera: Cicadellidae)

Larva of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, Papilio glaucus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae). This large larva is usually green but often turns brown prior to pupation.

Oak lace bug, Corythucha arcuata (Hemiptera: Tingidae)

Wing of moth, or drain fly (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Eggs of a true bug (Hemiptera) laid along the midvein of a leaf. Note the pseudopercula that act like "doors" to allow hatch

Close-up of eggs of a true bug (Hemiptera) showing the pseudoperculum, the rounded area on top of the egg that provides the young insect a means to get out of the egg

Spider on a daisy

Adult western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanaptera: Thripidae). This small, 1-1.5 mm-long insect has unique wings, shown here folded back over the body, that look like feathers. They don't provide for strong flight but do get the insect into the air where it can "ride the wind" to move more efficiently from one area to another. The wing design also allows thrips to get into minute cracks in greenhouses where they can significantly damage a wide variety of plants. These pests often occur on houseplants where they scrape away plant cells and suck up the juices. The feeding causes silver-looking spots on the leaves
