Issus coleoptratus nymph
The Issus coleoptratus nymph has to be one of the coolest insects ever! They’re among my favorites in the garden. Their legs contain the only gears known to be found in nature! And they have a blue brush sticking out of their back end. They’re definitely a very steampunk-ish looking bug! I was happy to see the first one of the season in the garden today. I’ve never seen one of this light color though. It must be a newly emerged one.
