I bought this bug brooch years ago and LOVE him but - A- he's VERY heavy and suitable for a heavy coat or jacket only and B- as I said earlier- I admire jewellry but rarely wear much!
Veckans motiv sprang jag på i köket, en blomma hade blivit hem för en massa småkryp. Deras hem är nu flyttat till soptunnan... :-)
My contribution to the group Fotosöndag (photo sunday), theme kryp which means bug. Found this in the kitchen this morning...
While photographing a pirate spider on my door this morning (you'll have to wait till October to see him ;-), I noticed this speck wander by, about the size of this period ->. I took a bunch of photos of it, having no idea what it could be.
I almost let out a squeal when I looked at it on my computer monitor - how cute can a bug be?? Look at that big head and those big eyes!
But I had NO idea even what Order it was, so didn't know where to start looking for it on BugGuide. So I just posted it.
Those guys are fast! Within a minute I had a response suggesting it to be in the Genus Baeus, a tiny flightless wasp that parasitizes spider eggs. Well, there are plenty of spiders around my house, so I wouldn't be surprised! But - that tiny cute little thing is a wasp?? Insects will never cease to amaze me!

I think this is one of my least accurate models; the real thornbug's head doesn't extend that far out unlike mines... However, it's not far out to the point of exaggeration, but it's still something that peeves me, especially since trying to shorten the head means managing the thick layers lying underneath it.
The observant eye can catch a rip somewhere on the head. It was slightly annoying. Despite these qualms, the result cam out satisfactorily.
Here is the Ambush Bug that is trying to hide in Iron Weed. Usually they pick a flower that more closely matches their colors. Goldenrod seems to be their favorite. The little orange smudge above the big eye is one of the small eyes called oceli that many insects and spiders have to increase vigilance. They can see backwards and forwards.
Note the raptorial claw, the clavate antenna which can be folded back into the hard mantle for protection, and the beak (rostrum) which is folded under the face plate. All in all these tiny predators pack a wallop and are very successful hunters. Note my finger nail on the third image which is shown for perspective. I always am very cautious around bugs both to avoid injuring them and in the case of the Ambush Bug because I have read that they can inflict a painful sting which takes a long time to heal.

2 jars of bed bugs, each held on arm to allow a few hundred bugs time to feed for around 25 minutes. Tops of jars are fine screened. Bed bugs will feed and then crawl off onto cardboard in the jars. The feeding spaces are sensitive for a few days, but never really experience any itchiness post feeding. There is sometimes an itchy and irritating feeling during feeding.

On left of female bed bug is very light colored first instar nymph that just hatched. Another nymph on her right is at least one hour old and is a darker, amber or tan color. Developed and possibly ready to hatch nymphs can be seen in the eggs on row at right. Taken on Dec. 30. 1/4 inch squares.

Not the most dynamic, but I love the shape and texture of the gold hairs against the red body.

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

Oh say can you seeee
This patriotic buggyyyy
That we chaaaased up the road
It was chased by Tina and me.
Had to watch for the copppps
They were working their opppps
But we passssed them all by
And caught this picture on the fly...
LOL! :) Should have seen us trying to get this shot! The bug started to take an exit and we were going to follow, then the driver changed his mind at the last second and so we had to do the same! Then, it took the next exit so Tina gunned it and I got some pictures of it as it drove up the exit. Hehehe! :D
Flat rubber molding pulled back to reveal bed bugs hiding. Notice that bugs are at top of molding in corner where there is no adhesive.
Box spring air hole and close up to show bed bugs "hiding" on an exposed surface and are not really in a hidden harborage site.
