lady bug or bug luv????? Many friends told me love is in the air, but I found luv bugs in the air instead.
One thing I found out about lady bugs is the patterns are actually formed in heart shape. For this one, I can actually count 8!!!!
No wonder lady bugs have been called the luv bugs. I totally agree.

Military grade surveillance bugs emerged in the early 20th century and while the creators attempted to design less intimidating subjects, other plans were afoot.

Stilt Bug, Metatropis rufescens, (Berytidae family).
Length 9-11 mm.
This large and unmistakeable orange-brown Stilt Bug is a woodland species, feeding on the leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade, Circaea lutetiana, an indicator of ancient woodland. They feed predominantly on the reproductive organs of the plants.
Despite its name, Enchanter’s Nightshade is unrelated to other Nightshades. It actually belongs to the willowherb family and is found in sun-dappled woodland, flowering between June and September.
This Stilt Bug is found throughout much of southern Britain including Wales, although absent from Ireland. It occurs in shady, mostly moist habitats in deciduous forests.
Overwintering occurs as an imago, (the final and fully developed adult stage), under loose bark or dry ground litter. Mating occurs in May and the females lay their eggs individually in June and July on the stems and leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade. From August, sometimes also in July, the emergent new generation occurs, and nymphs can be found until September.
I suspect this will offend someone or another but, I’m sorry, when something looks like a bug, to me, it’s a bug and not even an attractive looking bug in my opinion (although off-hand I can't think of any insect that I have found “attractive”)………..
So if your house is infected with the Stout Scarab bug, you need SLUG-a-BUG. It’s proven safe (or reasonably safe) for children, pets and even mother-in-laws (although the latter may not be what you’re looking for ). As far as I know the Stout Scarab bug is not particularly harmful, but it is distressful to look at and just think how you would feel having special guests over, relaxing in your living room as you are in the process of serving aperitifs’ when to your horror, a Stout Scarab crawls (or rolls) across your floor. How embarrassing! Your husband jumps to his feet and hollers, “Slug-a-Bug! Not a pleasant thing especially with your husband’s boss and his wife in the room…….
The low down on a Stout Scarab ---------------- (my inserts in italics))
When the Stout Scarab was introduced, there was nothing on the road quite like it. (I can understand that! ) Outside, it looked more like it was built by an airplane designer (or a Russian construction worker ) than by an automaker. In-fact, it was. (was what?) William B. Stout served as chief engineer of Packard's aircraft division during World War I. After the War, (suffering from acute “shell shock”) he designed a high-winged monoplane without the struts and wires that characterized earlier aircraft. Still later, his design for a three-engine commercial aircraft served as the inspiration for the successful Ford Tri-Motor. (thank God the Ford Tri-Motor didn’t look like this!
Not only did it have a unit construction body made out of light aluminum beer cans, it featured the famous 90 horsepower Ford flathead V8 engine placed at its exterior driving the rear wheels via a Stout-built three-speed manual transaxle. It has a 135-inch length (we not talking about a little ant here folks)!, 4-wheel independent coil spring suspension, and the most spacious (stomach) of any American car as the result of no running boards and no drive shaft tube. This $5,000 aerodynamically vehicle insect was well ahead of its time.
The Stout Scarab was an aerodynamic masterpiece (that’s a matter of opinion) that featured a rear-engine layout, flow through ventilation, concealed running boards, and modular seating. This particular example is the second Scarab created (captured).
The Scarabs were produced in very limited numbers, (I can understand why) with only nine examples created. Part of their rarity was due to their $5,000 price tag (per bug), an incredibly steep price in the post-Great Depression era, (not to mention the production of Slug-a-Bug) However, Scarabs did find homes with (in) some of America's industrial giants. Scout Scarabs resided in the garages (and their kitchens and living rooms) of the Wrigleys (chewing gum), the Dows (chemicals), the Strahanans (Champion Spark Plugs) and the Firestones. Mr. Stout was a close friend of these pioneers as well as Henry Ford.

So there ya have it folks……..like it or not………
Wonder why sometimes the bugs on the plants are upside down. Another life mystery. ;-) Oh and these flowers are Sweet Alyssum from my yard. They smell REALLY sweet and are teeny tiny.

I've been in Coventry visiting my parents for the weekend. Dad brought a conifer into the house to decorate as a Christmas tree - and a couple of juniper shield bugs came in with it :-) I haven't seen these in my garden, so a new photographic record from the weekend.
Handheld, natural light.
(NB. My photos-of-the-day were of family members so I've not made them visible for public viewing)
I changed the formula a bit and tweaked the color and lighting settings a good deal. Mot a totally new fractal, just a light tweak, but I do like the results. Thank you, Garth, for sharing the parameters.

The Volkswagen Beetle—officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in German der Käfer (meaning "beetle"), in parts of the English-speaking world the Bug, and known by many other nicknames in other languages—is a two-door, rear-engine economy car, intended for five occupants (later, Beetles were restricted to four people in some countries), that was manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.
The insects are interesting in that they always seem to connect back to back and walk around. Very odd. The bug on the left felt unconnected... Taken in the Adelaide Hills. Vivitar (Kiron) 70 - 150 at 150mm F2
Bug hotel in the Woodland.
Create a bug hotel to provide hidey-holes for creatures galore. Building a bug hotel (also known as a wildlife hotel or stack) in your garden can provide a safe hideaway for wildlife and help make use of your garden waste. A well-built hotel can shelter anything from hedgehogs to toads, solitary bees to bumblebees, and ladybirds to woodlice. You can build your bug hotel at any time of year, but you might have the most natural materials such as straw, dry grass and hollow plant stems in autumn.
I was actually trying to shoot some lichen on this twig, when this guy wandered into the scene and demanded some attention.
