- What is a bug? Is a bug a true category of Insects. Is this a bug? Why? How did Leaf-footed Bugs get their name? Learn about this unique hemipteran, Acanthocephala spp and what it does!
Most of the videos I found talk about killing the leaf footed bugs, but I don’t want to teach the kids that. I just want them to have the facts. Thanks again!
Agreed! Like minds! I am happy you found my channel...i think it has "evolved" since I first started! I hope you will check out some of my latest videos...every week trying to improve production quality and content! New videos every Friday!
Any recommendations regarding the videos about protecting plants from these and possibly killing them? These and stinkbugs tear up some of my favorite garden goodies especially squash.
Loved having you for a teacher growing up at radford high school one of the best keep up the good work
Thanks for kind words! Keep in touch!
Thank you so much for your video!! I work with children and we saw what I now understand to be a leaf footed bug on the playground. It took some research for me to identify it. Now, I am looking for a video to show the kids today to learn about what we found. Your video is perfect. It’s educational and fun.
Hi Cherie! So glad you found my video! And wonderful to hear because this is exactly how I dreamed my videos would be used!! Thanks for sharing with me! It means a lot to me!
Thank you! How did you know the leaf footed specimen was a male?
Hmmmmmm. Uh...apologies...i believe in this situation I used the word "he" as one might used the word "it". I was not consciously thinking male or female. I do not know if this specimen was actually a male or female. I will try to do better in future and use language more clearly.
i used to have bee hives and one day there was a wheel bug on the lid with his prong stuck in a bee. I got some great pictures of it
I love wheel bugs! I have a bunch of footage but never ran an episode! I find them in fall prowling around fall blooms of bright yellow golden rod. Kudos on,your photos...great photo subject!
@@natureatyourdoor two weeks ago i was in my yard and could smell the honeysuckles, it was nighttime, but i was going to lean in and stick my face in them to smell them at about 5 feet off the ground and there was a garter snake right there in the vines, i pulled back at the last second after having my nose an inch from his nose. Got pictures of that as well.
so not all of these are chagas bugs?
Hey Space Cowboy! You are my number one viewer in real time right now! Awesome to have you checkibg out my channel and asking questions. Nope these are not chagas bugs...but I did a double take, too when I first saw these! Good observation, sir! Very similar!
@@natureatyourdoor i was worried a few years back when i found some of these types of bugs in my house. I remember two of them were red with most being grey or light brown
@@spacecatboy2962 where do you live? Like what state?
Whoa! I found one today in my garden
too cool...I have been trying to keep up with what people will run into ...right now... when they go outside!!!
