“ A Camouflage Bug,” explained Morton the Didjeridu (yidaki) player’s cousin. “How did you find it?” I asked while I let it crawl onto my arm. I thought it had taken skin-colour as part of its camouflage trick; but no, apparently this is the colour of the insect, and it becomes close to invisible on bark on shrubs. I have no idea what it makes its living from. “– It was just sitting around,” Morton’s cousin replied. But he is an aboriginal, too. I was envious - so close to, yet so far away from the nature of this continent I am.
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.
Like a death-trap in the Russian Sage, this assassin bug captures the native bee and slowly sucks the life out of it after injecting it with a paralyzing saliva.
Leaf Footed bugs are sap suckers. This one is enjoying the sap of the thistle. They have a piercing straw like mouth part that folds back under the body.
I actually cheated on this photo and combined one shot of the bug with a shot of the right hind leg so I could get more into focus.
I have a theory that the leaf appendages my serve as fins when the bug is flying. It also looks like a leaf and offers camouflage.

Leaffooted Bug
Family Coreidae
This is what that nymph might turn into. There are several kinds of leaffooted bugs around here though, so I don't know which he is. My favorite don't have the leaf shape on their legs. Found on a wild poinsettia in South Texas, they seem to really like poinsettias.
I was trying to take a photo of my daylily when this wee bug dropped in. He said he made the shot better.
My focus for my senior project is on dreams I have had throughout the last three years in college. These were either lucid dreams or vivid occurrences while in a sleep-state. Each image was shot using a Holga 120 film camera. The top layer seen in some images was created by spitting on a piece of glass then exposing the outcome on photosensitive paper in a darkroom.

To see the size of the bug I positioned it on the top of a toothpick when I took the pictures.
