This Beetle may or may not have been entered in the Terryville show for judging. It probably was. But what's significant is that it actually has a trailer hitched to it. You'd think a VE would be too much of a weakling to carry a trailer, even a small one. But there it is, a highway caboose on the back of this coincidentally red Bug. :-)
This Beetle, in addition to having chrome fender flares and headlight eyelids, also has large, bulky taillights and the VW logo on the trunk lid. That would identify it as a '73 or '74 Beetle.
The 1971 Beetle had a 1.6-liter engine rated at 60 horsepower. That engine, which remained the standard powerplant for the Beetle in America to the end, would have its horsepower rating downgraded to 46 the following year (1972) by Society of American Engineers (SAE) standards, and subsequent Bugs would retain that rating. 46, 60 . . . that seems good enough for a Beetle to carry a trailer like this.
These are my "budget bugs", the yellow one is a Frog re-release, the blue one is a Grasshopper. Both with Parma lexan bodies and Tamiya paint. The tires and wheels on the yellow bug are original Proline from 1985, left-overs from my original Hornet. The frog also has a Tamiya sport-tuned motor. The Grasshopper is stock, except for Hornet rear shocks.
Bug blocks for Kris! Not quite finished with stitching around each shape, but wanted to get them posted!

Stink Bug Hell by Shane K Smith
Stink Bugs or Pentatomidae are infesting Winston-Salem and Lexington, NC farm area homes. They come every year around Halloween. They are hard to kill with Pesticides. I’ve tried foggers but they barely work. They fly sort of stupidly and crash but hide well under clothes, in clothes on window sills near light. They can swim and dive under water as I have tried to flush them. They come back out of the toilet hole after being flushed! They do the backstroke no joke! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmvojex1v-I
They leave a sweet nasty smell that keeps attracting more. If you catch them with a Kleenex then drop them in a torture device made from a two liter bottle you have your best luck. Wear surgical gloves or a Kleenex so the smell doesn’t get on your fingers. They don’t just fly in the bottle. You have to use the bottle sometimes to physically move them to fall through the hole. Just cut the top off of a 1 or 2 liter bottle then turn it upside down inside of itself. The bugs fall in the hole. I also use vacuum cleaners. What you do with them after that is your own choice. The Hindus will send me to hell for killing these bugs. Maybe I will see the stink bugs there! I have let my share of insects fly or crawl free. But I am not sharing my house with these imports! The traps we bough from the store are empty because they don’t work. Coming soon Stink Bug Hell the movie.
Plant bug having a drink. Saw this fly off my coat when I had come inside after a walk. Trapped it and gave it a drop of sugar/honey syrup to feed on

Steve @ Bug Lake (June 27)
This trip was doomed from the start. Pouring rain, and no intel regarding how far we’d get in a 2WD. Despite those warning signs Eric and Kim joined me for a trek into the unknown, to a place with a foreboding name.
The drive most of the way was wet, and muddy but mostly without incident save for a few logging trucks. However, about 4km from the trailhead we hit a rock obstacle and worked our way over, only to hit trees making further driving impossible. We got out and hoofed it.
The trailhead was almost impossible to find,.. but once we did and got past the first 200m, it became a decent trail, though steep and muddy,... and buggy. We climbed and climbed through what looked like moss and old growth and for some reason Kim got most of the bugs. We never did reach the lake due to the extra 4km each way and impact to our turn around time, we made it about 60% of the way up the actual trail. I’ve rarely been so soaked through my boots.
The unfortunate kicker is that this is one of my goal hikes to complete the 103 hikes book,... so I have to go back,.. when I do I’ll probably aim for better weather and bring a mountain bike.
I don't know why but I have never seen these before. This one took a liking to my car and crawled all over it for several stops while running errands. Anyone know what it is exactly?
Hawthorn shield bug (Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale) nymphs: I think the black-headed instar is moulting to emerge as the next (green) instar, but it's hard to tell exactly what's going on. On a whitebeam leaf.
no caso de um rebaixamento bem feito a prte de trás é um caso à parte reparem no trabalho que a coluna traseira passa , para se preservar as grelhas tem que se cortar até a chapa do cofre do motor para a janela traseira é rebaixada
Ladybird Beetles are also known as Ladybugs and Lady Beetles. The adults are oval domed in shape, range in length from about 1 mm to 10 mm depending upon species. Females in general are a little larger than males. Like all other beetles, their hard forewings cover the membranous hind wings and protect the abdomen. Their legs and their clubbed antenna are short, which are usually hidden beneath their bodies when disturbed.
Most Ladybird species, both adults and larvae, are predators. They feed on very small insects such as aphids, scale insects and mite. Both adults and larvae may be found on the same plants feeding on the same species of prey. They may consume flower nectar, water and honeydew from aphids as supplement.

This wheel bug is fully developed and waiting to capture some prey. Note the beak folded underneath the head. The wheel on back may be some type of protective mantle.
We started our fist ginger bug today that in a few weeks will lead to our first home made ginger beer. The bug starts with a cup of water, 2 tsp sugar and 2 tsp shredded ginger.
Title - "Bug Car"
Artist - Harry Fladd
Date - 25 August, 2009
Medium - Marker on Note Paper
Artist's Notes - "It's cozy and warm in there. There is an ant, a big-footed beetle and a red-head beetle. The Bug Car is going fast, but it has real bugs on it and inside it, playing basketball."
Found this shield bug today despite their supposed hibernation until May. This particular example is a Hawthorn Shield Bug. When I found it I popped it in a matchbox & took home later to photograph. I found a log in the garden to put it on before taking a few pics. All handheld macro with reflector card flash. Nikon 60mm f2.8 Micro (f 32).
The bug was very accommodating whilst having it's portrait. Maybe it was still half asleep. When finished I placed the log, bug included, back where I found it so it could go free.
