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.
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.

Front of lounge chair with fabric thrown back to expose bed bugs hiding at lower edge near staples and fabric.
Pretty colored bug crawling around on the buds. When these flwers open they will be swarmed by bees and butterflies. This spider was back-lighted rather nicely I think, by the setting sun. I like the translucent legs and the lighted web. I was out last evening trying to find something to shoot. Well, I thought this looked pretty good. Taken at the Center for Environmental Farming Systems site in Goldsboro, NC.

I found these weird bugs on my favorite tree. Does anyone know what these are? Are they "good bugs" or "bad bugs"? They look evil. Especially with that queen-like one in the middle...
