Miridae.

These are mirid plant bugs. Any idea what they are feeding on? Host plant associations are often crucial for identification of mirids.

Sap

These folks where on decorative palms. These palm are about a meter high, and flower by growing a 2 or 3 meter set of stalks with hanging elongated seed pods. This plant is quite popular around corporate building in Nashville area. 0.o
