A pesky Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) got itself covered with yellow pollen from an Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule). As it gets warmer outside, the stink bugs and lady beetles that spent the winter in the house, now want to get outside.

Indoor hydroponic flowers of the day. I didn’t get up early enough for the pink-fringed white poppy (Papaver Rhoes) which much have started opening before the hydroponic AeroGarden Farm LED lights went on. A red Red Turkish Tulip Poppy (Papaver glaucum) opened later, which I did catch for a time-lapse video. One thing to note, the poppy flowers are blooming at nearly the height of the AeroGarden XL Farm (36″). This means I need to use a very tall tripod to capture the images using the Laowa 24 mm macro probe lens.
