vpatterson's Identifications

On a very late night (or early morning, 2:40 AM) while I was walking back to my dorm I saw this specimen and decided to take a picture of it. It was not too cold (around mid 80s) outside and it looked like it was making its way to some grass. When I took a closer look at the insect I noticed that he had yellow color parts which surrounded the sides of its body. At first I identified the specimen as a normal centipede but later when looking closer at the pictures I decided it had to be Asiomorpha Coarctata because of the yellow detailing.

Forest habitat, 85 degrees F, day time.
This picture was taken at Flatwood park. The Dark paper wasp distribute all over United states.
It can be identified by its yellow black strips.

I found this specimen when I went on a walk in my neighborhood. I found the tiny specs of white interesting and as I looked closer I discovered they were fliers suggesting this specimen was in fact and angiosperm. The weather was quite human and sticky outside with the temperature being around the mid 80s (Fahrenheit). I was able to identify this specimen using this physical characteristics such as it’s small white flowers and haphazard growth pattern similar to a carpet.

90 degrees, clear skies with a slight breeze. The little fellow was crawling around the side of a path at Flatwoods Park. The following website helped me to identify this bug as it shared the distinguishing characteristic of white and black legs with the one on the site, https://njaes.rutgers.edu/stink-bug/identify.php

This observation was taken at 7:44 PM. The specimen was inside, and it was cool. The specimen was mating. I identified it as a Lovebug because of its behavior, as they mate often, and its black body with the red spot below its head. I found the information on traits from the Bugguide from the Iowa State University
