There seemed to many of these around that day

My 10,000th observation.

~2mm

some bugs on the leaves of a Salvia coccinea plant. i think these are all the same kind of bug, but at different life stages. photo 1 is an adult, photo 2 is exuvia, and photo 3 is a nymph.

On corn leaf.

~6mm. At the blacklight.
