There aren't many plants in bloom these days on the coastal meadows in my area. The weather is very hot, and the grass and other vegetation on the open fields near the sea is mostly brown and dry.  This plant, the cypress spurge, is one of the rare plants still in bloom in this summer landscape ...  ... and I found some interesting insect6s on its flowers. This is the minuscule, recently hatched nymph of the spurge bug.  This one is just slightly bigger.  Here you can see a considerably bigger and more developed nymph of the same species ... and on the following photograph ...  ... the adult bug is posing on the picture.  On this, and the following photograph ...  ... you can see a mating pair of spurge bugs.  While observing the life around this plant, I found also this yellow caterpillar of the "inchworm" kind ...  ... and two minuscule wasps ... here is the first one ...  ... and here is the second, more elongated one. As always in posts, the photographs are my work - THE END.
