I found this little visitor in my backyard. The camera was only a couple of centimetres away from this guy, and I kept thinking he was going to jump at me, like those face sucking aliens from the movies. Luckily he stayed still like a good little insect.

These three bugs left to right are a Rhinoceros beetle, a Euchroma gigantea beetle and a giant cockroach. These 3 were all found in the jungles of Ecuador about 50 years ago.
When I was a child, my aunt was a nurse and missionary for Wycliffe in the jungles of Ecuador. A job she held for 25 years. Every 3-years or so she would travel back to the States on sabbatical and bring all her nieces and nephews cool artifacts from the jungle. Hand made dolls, darts and blow guns the natives used to kill prey, and some of the insects she would find in her hut and medical station. In my book, she was the best and coolest aunt ever! I was a big hit during show and tell!
I had forgot I still had these bugs in a box in my garage until this theme jogged my memory.
To help estimate size, they are sitting on a paper cutter board. The solid lines make 1-inch squares.
Shot for Flickr Friday, Bugs.
Don't really do bugs or Macro but couldn't resist this little chap. He decided to get in the boot of the car while I was cleaning it.. he would have been splodged but I carefully removed him to a plant following his photoshoot, always grateful for a subject!

Tried fiddling around with Picnik - didn't realize I could do this effect.
I know I shouldn't say this and I know everything has a purpose - but I hate these things. They give me the creeps. There I am sitting in the garden, minding my own business, when one of these brutes lands on my arm and tucks in. Yuuuugh.
*Bug;
A persistent error in software or hardware. If the bug is in software, it can be corrected by changing the program. If the bug is in hardware, new circuits have to be designed.
Although the derivation of bug is generally attributed to the moth that was found squashed between the points of an electromechanical relay in a computer in the 1940s, the term goes back to the 1800s to refer to flaws in mechanical systems.
Found the Hardware Bug!, A fly on an old scanner circuit board.

"Reality offers us such wealth that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify. The question is, do we always cut out what we should? While we are working, we must be conscious of what we are doing. Sometimes we have the feeling that we have taken a great photo, and yet we continue to unfold."
-Henri Cartier-Bresson

It has come to our attention that the Bugus Aldebaranus has been inadvertently stuffed with cheddar cheese and has thus been recalled.

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.
