    Widefooted Treehopper, Campylenchia latipes (Iowa, USA).
    Minute Pirate Bug (Anthocoridae - Orius insidiosus) from Iowa, USA. These swashbuckling hemipterans prey on small invertebrates and pillage their eggs, a trait that makes them attractive as biological control agents.
    Large Milkweed Bugs, Oncopeltus fasciatus, feed on a seed pod (Iowa, USA). Like other milkweed-feeding insects, milkweed bugs acquire toxins from their host plant and advertise their distastefulness with bright warning coloration.
