Detail of the eye of the last instar (nymph) of an African bug (Lubumbashi, DR Congo, January 2013, ID?). Specimen is about 7mm long; it was preserved in ethanol for 3 months, taken out and immediately photographed to avoid dessication of the eyes.

I think these are the nymphs of the Spined Predatory Shield Bug (Oechalia schellenbergii). Seen at Evan’s Crown Nature Reserve, Tarana, NSW.
Lady Bugs -- Annual Convension :) This was taken in Uvas Canyon, about 20 miles west of Morgan Hill California. This was nothing...there we're 1000x this many, all over the trees and ground. They were in mass at the top of this post. It was quite a site, and lucky I had my camera because I was just out for a morning hike!
Classic color combo with some strange bugs, the
Red Shouldered Bugs - Jadera haematoloma.
"Jadera bugs feed on leaking tree sap, dead insects or fallen seeds from nearby trees. They feed on the sap from foliage, flowers and buds, and as a matter of fact, are actually quite beneficial to your backyard garden."
A fly with a very shiny green body on a very yellow flower. Spotted in the walled garden at Burton Agnes Hall. Fortunately the sun came out and increased the background contrast for me.
BTW , loads of butterflies fluttering around. But as I had the wrong lens on, they took flight immediately I moved toward them, unlike this friendly fly who stayed still for ages.
BB, aka BB, pushed the Christmas mouse off the flower part of the new cat tree and proceeded to hunker down. I really like the tree bc she’s at just the right level to administer scritches!!
The Cotton Harlequin Bug is a member of the Jewel Bug family named for their bright metallic colouration.
The males and females of the Cotton Harlequin Bug are different colours, with the females mostly orange and the males mostly blue-red.
Part of a series of VW Bug images I shot in Oaxaca, Mexico
I was scanning old negs all night for requested prints (i'm selling prints now - see here: jenene.org/printpricing.html ) and of course I'm getting side tracked on projects I never finished. Like this VW Bug portfolio being properly scanned. So yeah, I'm gonna do it now, even though it's almost 5 years later.
Lot's more VW Bugs to come... they are my favorite :)
This is a group of Large milkweed bugs - Oncopeltus fasciatus. There are adults and nymphs in various stages of developement. It's no surprise that the favorite food of the large milkweed bug is the seeds and tissue of the milkweed plant Asclepias.
The Portland Breakwater Light (also called Bug Light) is a small lighthouse in South Portland, Maine.
a Platycranus bicolor mirid bug from gorse opposite the visitor centre at Hastings Country Park - note the hair scales and broad vertex on this late summer gorse specialist
I almost didn't realize that the black spots inside this yellow flower were actual bugs until I got my macro lens out and took a few pictures. I'm not sure if they were dead or just simply hanging out in there.
After all the winter months doing just landscape and street photography, today I went out looking for bugs for the first time this year and I could find some of my loved damselflies :-) It served as well for using the Oly in these matters for the first time with the Zuiko 60 mm macro.
