Found alive but in terrible shape. Was swimming around in the water bowl we put out for feral cats here. Also appeared to have had a run in with a spider web, as it had something stuck all over it. Got a lot of suggestions for fungi and parasitoids that target ladybeetles, so maybe its appearance is more a function of a disease or parasite process taking place. It was definitely having trouble getting adound, but could be due to having been in the water for a long time and/or having bits of web

Not sure what this was, at first thought a potato bug, but looking at closer realized it was not. Not the kind of June bug I am used to seeing. Pretty sure this a Ten-lined Beetle, got this photo with my Android camera using the magnifying glass app. Better photo than with my Nikon P950. After reading about this beetle and the Long Haired Beetle, I touched the protonum on this beetle and it is smooth.

Found on mesquite tree, cicadas have been living in it and making their signature buzzing sound for several weeks now. However, it’s become significantly more prominent this week with the onset of the monsoonal storm activity. We are currently watching a storm roll in, and the cicadas seem to get much more active with higher humidity and dew points. The buzzing gets much louder in the evening, particularly as storm clouds move in. They’re still loud on clearer days, but seem to be more so on s
