Black widow? Almost dropped this guy off on my FACE while examining a BC seedling.

Brown widow. Not as venomous, but still unpleasant. Less shy so you’re more likely to encounter them or get bitten.
Black widows are very shy, flighty, and prefer dark places.

Got a new one for you... =)
A walking stick feeding on a tasty leaf of my Ficus Organensis.

P.S. This is a deciduous/semi type of Ficus, and we are at winter now here, that's why the leafs looks that way.
Also, They appear time to time, and I don't mind to share a few leafs with them when they come around, they don't eat much.

Trimming the BRT and saw this sucker today. Not sure if it's a Cankerworm or a Looper moth caterpillar. I am sure that it's U-G-L-Y without an alibi.

Mantids make wonderful pets. They can become quite tame and even be hand fed.

Glad I stumbled on this topic, is this a ladybug species? Is it bad/good for my trees?

I'd say good. Could've just landed there to rest or detected aphids to feed on...

Pretty sure this is a gnat infestation. Is there a good way to get rid of these on a tree? They’re on multiple branches/leaves.

Su

I don't know what this is, but found it on a water oak. I didn't notice any harm to the tree and left it alone.

Superior camouflage.

Pretty sure they are aphids. Knocking them off with a spray of water, insecticidal soap...

Possibly a katydid...

 

[MGTT]

Here’s sort of two : one from this year of spider webs on seedlings, is the web ‘wiring’ the tree?!?!

And one from last year of a mantis on a small trident.

Katie did and she knows it.

Thanks. They’re all over the tree. I’ll try insecticidal soap and see if that stops them.

It’s common name is asian lady beetle. You can tell because it isn’t that bright red.They aren’t a problem to the tree, but they are invasive.
