The Portland Breakwater Light (also called Bug Light) is a small lighthouse in South Portland, Maine. The lighthouse's flashing red beacon helped guide ships from Casco Bay through the entrance to Portland Harbor.

My first bug! Made this for my Designer Showcase in Belle Armoire Jewelry, Autumn 2011 issue. Polymer clay, textured with Whim-Z Wire base. The beetle is all polmer with wire legs.

I've just had 6 weeks OS so I'm really looking forward to getting out and about with the Tas bugs again.
I can only see two tarsal segments on this bug nymph, but I suspect I'm being duped and it is actually Pentatomidae?? It was on one of prolific, weedy grass infested beds we call "garden".
Now that I've made that call it is guaranteed to be wrong :-)
Box Bug (Gonocerus acuteangulatus)
This one suddenly appeared flying across my office and landed on a power lead...
This fellow was annoying me bigtime, it entered the house and refused to hold still for a portrait... I won!
(If someone knows it's name...?)
An adorable 1960s haiku book (published in Tokyo) that sings the praises of insects and plants of all kinds. It's illustrated with lovely drawings by late California artist Earl Thollander.

this bug gave me a hard time to shoot him... he just won't stop. i had to distract him like im a threat and that made him still. he he
The Bug Nebula, NGC 6302, is one of the brightest and most extreme planetary nebulae known. The fiery, dying star at its center is shrouded by a blanket of icy hailstones. This NASA Hubble Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 image shows impressive walls of compressed gas, laced with trailing strands and bubbling outflows. A dark, dusty torus surrounds the inner nebula (seen at the upper right).
At the heart of the turmoil is one of the hottest stars known. Despite a sizzling temperature of at least 450,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the star itself has never been seen, as it is hidden by the blanket of dust and shines most brightly in the ultraviolet, making it hard to observe. The Bug Nebula lies about 4,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Scorpius.

Poecilometis gravis
Family: Pentatomidae ( stink bugs , shield bugs )
Suborder: Heteroptera
Order: Hemiptera
I have had several observations of this genus locally in the past. Previous observations have all been of Poecilometis strigatus. However this one is a different species P. gravis. This one looks very similar to the previous observations but there are some minor differences: antennae colour, maybe more even punctation on the hemelytra, a more pronounced black dot on the hemelytra. All are consistent with P. gravis. One quite marked difference is the number of antennae segments; P. gravis has 5 segments whereas P. strigatus has only 4. In the case of this species, P. gravis, the second and third antennal segments are the same length.
It is usually assumed that stink bugs can be merely irritating with their unpleasant smelling spray. However the fluid can be hazardous if it gets in the eye and can cause corneal damage; injuries have been reported.

Sitting outside, I noticed this bug on the open conservatory door and his pronounced shadow in the bright sunlight.

One of my favourites from the archive that I hadn't uploaded yet. It's a Syrphus torvus hoverfly.
(HÃ¥ret hageblomsterflue in Norwegian).
I spend the evening preparing for a family photo shoot tomorrow, a puppy shoot on Saturday and 5 confirmand photo shoots the next two weeks. Look forward to it!

This scary looking bug is known as a Wheel Bug. It is in the assassin bug family Reduviidae. They attack and eat other bugs. Though they do not sting, they do bite and their bite is supposed to be quite painful. I didn't know this when I was photographing it and am glad I didn't try to pose it, though I wouldn't be inclined to touch such a scary looking bug. These bugs look like a mini Stegosaurus. OK, they have 6 legs and no tail, but they still remind me of the dinosaur.
The Ambush Bug is a tiny predator insect that uses stealthy appearance to allow prey to come withing reach of his raptorial claws. Once he grabs hold, powerful toxins are injected through the beak which is folded under his face plate. Hooks on the hind legs allow him to anchor himself so that he can hold on to prey many times his size.
