Bug tour at the Intu Metro Centre, Gateshead, North East England. On display from Feb 2nd to March 2nd 2019. . .
Bug orgy bush. Stopped to check out where the sweet perfume on the wind was coming from and found it coming from this bush. Then I noticed that it was covered with bugs. Then I noticed that all of the bugs were getting down... guess the scent is like and aphrodisiac to them.
Spring is here and the bulbs are pushing their way through the soil to create many of God's wonderful beauties. If you look closely, you'll see a bee and a little ladybug as well. This piece is done on a vintage window with broken pieces of "Grandma's treasures"
On my latest Sunday stroll to Pennington Flash I was (perhaps sadly) delighted to find a ladybird, bee and a shield bug! Oh how you spoil me.
Yes, in a few months I'll probably be bored stiff of these as macro subjects but for someone who has been starved of "wild" macro action for months even the most common insects are a joy to behold.
Unfortuantely they didn't stick around and pose for long as I shoved by camera lens in their personal space, so I was also reminded of the more frustrating aspects of macro photography.

The ambush bug is small and likes to hide in yellow flowers like goldenrod. I found two today by carefully searching each goldenrod plant I passed. I find they can easily be mistaken for a wilted bloom. Note the protective mantle on the top of the head. There is a groove in the mantle into which the antenna can be folded for protection. Also note the sharp pincer like claw which is used to hold prey. Hooks on the other legs serve to hold the bug in place so it is not pulled around by prey. Like all assassin bugs, the assassin bug has a folded beak hidden under his face plate that extends to puncture, poison, digest and ingest prey. It is an all purpose tool.
my 1957 bug. I took this photo from very far away and zoomed in, to reduce any distortion. This is done so people can use these images to use as reference when building the car in 3d.
Testing out my new 135 Super-Takumar!
I got bugs
I got bugs in my room
Bugs in my bed
Bugs in my ears
Their eggs in my head
Bugs in my pockets
Bugs in my shoes
Bugs in the way I feel about you
Bugs on my window
Trying to get in
They dont go nowhere
Waiting, waiting...
Bugs on my ceiling
Crowded the floor
Standing, sitting, kneeling...
A few block the door
And now the questions:
Do I kill them?
Become their friend?
Do I eat them?
Raw or well done?
Do I trick them?
I dont think theyre that dumb
Do I join them?
Looks like thats the one
I got bugs on my skin
Tickle my nausea I let it happen again
Theyre always takin over
I see they surround me, I see...
See them deciding my fate
Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
Now its too late
I got bugs in my room...one on one
Thats when I had a chance
Ill just stop now
Ill become naked and with them...
Ill become one

helping samgrover deal with his recently found flickr bug which I've learned about in a FlickrSocial thread.
Farmville, VA -- Nature is truly magnificent in its variety. The subject here is an Assassin Bug, a friend to the gardener.
This Bug-erfly was created from iridescent stained glass, fused glass body, glitter tiles, Dichroic glass cabochons, Van Gogh glass, beads, millefiori and mini metallic tiles.
A blurry picture of my roommate, Bug. Blurry, but it's the first picture I've seen of him that captures his smile.
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.
Half a male earwig and the remains of 2 isopods (I think), with 2 cucumber tendrils. Scanned at very high resolution, then retouched in Photoshop.
These large (over an inch long) green beetles have been flying around our yard and dying on our porch. They are apparently fig beetles, which may bode ill for our fig crop. At least they are pretty! Unsurprisingly, they are in the scarab family.
Lighting: An SB-900 in a 28" softbox camera right, and an SB-800 with a snoot through some white nylon camera left.
