Other names are Shield-backed bug and Lychee Shield Bug.
He just flew in front of me and sat on a branch when I was descending carefully with my eyes glued to the ground. I took this picture and waited for a while for him to turn around. Then I was lucky to get the other shot. Couldn't get a full front view image, because of the slope. I didn't want to tumble down...bug or no bug....lol...
Beautiful on black too.
A just started music project with the family to make our garden wall more beautiful. Themed: garden animals.
This assassin bug nymph does not yet dislplay wing buds. The body is only about 5 mm. I don't see how but the tips of the spines appear to have tiny drops of moisture. This seems impossible as the temperature was in the 90's and there has been no rain in 24 hours. Maybe it is a defensive goo or a glue to attract prey like cannibal plants (honey dew).
Mosquito, He or she was on the outside of the double glazing, probably eyeing me up for the next meal.
This was very small part of a huge collection of insects( ca.23000 species) which was at La Vanille Reserve des Mascareignes,Mauritius. It was the work of one man,Jacques Siedlecki ,over 30 years.
Elle found this beautiful, recently dead weevil for me and I had fun posing it in various bug worlds.
If I'm right, well, possibly it is a green vegetable bug/ southern green stink bug.
The southern green stink bug is not native to Hungary or even Europe. The first sign of them was in Hungary just thirteen years ago. It is originally from Ethiopia.

Looking up at Bug Light in South Portland, Maine. Photo taken with an Olympus XA using Kodak Ultramax 400 color print film.
bug light. officially known as duxbury pier light, was built in 1871 on the north side of the main channel in plymouth harbor to mark the dangerous shoal off saquish head, in plymouth, ma. The unusual coffeepot-shaped lighthouse is locally known as "bug light" or simply "the bug."
Topic: Insects are everywhere. Photograph a bug in your environment (no spiders - they're arachnids). (@DeForestRanger)
OK, dear Crow, please help me find a bug in pouring rain when it's dark outside. And I do not plan to get soaked :)
So, there you go, a bug in (un)natural environment, with rain (or proof of presence thereof) in the background... I swear I'm going to submit a vindictive Daily Shoot subject proposal... errr... errr... sports cars!!! Maserati, to be precise. Revenge is sweet.
Strobist info: SB800 zoomed to 105mm, manual power of 1/64 through a homemade honeycomb grid coming from camera left to illuminate the bug. SB900 as fill to illuminate the board and blinds camera right, zoomed to 24mm, bare, bounced off the ceiling and the wall, manual power 1/128. The flashes triggered by the commander unit in the camera. Ambient light (streetlight) used to illuminate droplets of water on the window pane.
Postprocessing: SOOC (in my interpretation; it's a raw file converted to JPEG in Lightroom without editing)
PS. I'm sure DeForestRanger knows I'm only teasing. I won't submit impossible assignments. Contrary to what others do!
PPS. I won't be poisonously bitter anymore. No, really. OK, just a little.
PPPS. Seriously, I wanted to shoot a grasshopper or a fly or ants, or so. Well, stretching it a little, a little frog... But then, on my way back home on foot from the train station I needed to stop for 30 minutes and wait under some balcony for a merciful soul to pick me up. It's been raining cats and dogs for 2 hours or so. No chance to do this assignment today in Warsaw.
