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
A little cluster of bug eggs on a tree trunk in Morwell National Park, Victoria, Australia, January 2014.
I found this in some dirt in my yard last summer. I cleaned it up and left it on the patio table....... and here it is now.
These stink bugs found on Stachys are species Cosmopepla conspicillaris.
The taxon Family is Pentatomidae as all members have 5 antenna segments. This species is also referred to as the hedgenettle stink bug and the crescent seen on the back resembles a smile. This leads to the other common name of “happy bespectacled stink bug” where the two black spots inset in the orange “spectacles” on the dorsal thorax make up the appearance of eyes when viewed from above and behind.
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.
Studio stack based on 97 images (ISO100, 1", Apo Gerogon 240mm as tube lens with iris set on 16, 3x Jansjo leds diffused through paper cylinder). Zerene stacker (Dmap, Pmax), treated moderately in LR (CA), Picasa & GIMP (artifacts, but not all). Cropped from 2.7mm wide to 2mm, now magnification of about 18x (FF).
I think these are the nymphs of the Spined Predatory Shield Bug (Oechalia schellenbergii). Seen at Evan’s Crown Nature Reserve, Tarana, NSW.
Bug tour at the Intu Metro Centre, Gateshead, North East England. On display from Feb 2nd to March 2nd 2019. . .
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.
First Monarch of the Year. The scarcity of Monarch Butterflies in the North-east this year has been well documented.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a photograph of what I though was my first monarch of the year, only to have the identification corrected to a Viceroy butterfly - a mimic of the monarch.
Well today I was lucky enough to find and photograph a true monarch. I am really pleased to have truly captured my first monarch of the year..
