The tibicen genus of cicadas is the most prevalent in the United States.... Males produce loud calls in the afternoon or evening (depending on the species) to attract females. These sounds, distinctive for each species, are produced by organs below the abdomen's base. These calls range from a loud buzz to a long rattling sound. Adults are not known to eat.

Photo from North America.
This is a collection of images of Homemade tractors, American Doodlebugs, and Swedeish A and Epa-traktorer.
Many of the images here I have found all over the internet!
If anyone find their own image here and disapprove of me showing it here, just send me a message and I will remove it/them images!
One of four images from a walk at Maywood Park in Colonie, New York, USA on July 28, 2022. I noticed a shadow on a leaf's surface, When I turned the leaf over, this is what I saw. I think they are Squash Bug nymphs.
work in progress
I love the series of "bugs in the house" - i have so much fun modelling these little fellows.

April 2, 2008 -- The hairy butt of a very tiny bug. Taken with a Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens. Cropped.

A bug that I got just one shot of before it hopped off (is it some type of plant hopper?). Taken at Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye.
A favourite bug to photo; so many people feel friendly toward ladybirds, it's totally endearing :) their bright red colour makes them a great subject.
Couldn't resist snapping this cute seven spot at my parents' house last weekend. When they saw this photo yesterday they told me the ladybird is still there! Must really love artichokes!
This photo was edited in Adobe Lightroom. Wanted to alter the colours slightly so gently messed with Lightroom's camera calibration colour sliders. Lots of fun! :)
Love bug larvae grow up in grassy areas and feed on dead vegetation. The adult love bug does not eat, but subsists on the food taken in during its larval stage. Upon reaching maturity the love bug spends the entirety of its life copulating with its mate, hence its numerous romantic nicknames. The male and female attach themselves at the rear of the abdomen and remain that way at all times, even in flight. In fact, after mating, the male dies and is dragged around by the female until she lays her eggs
n Mexico some things seem to live forever, like old VW bugs. Also, on the walls, the butterflies never die... From my morning run. A long one. Today a worker I past fist bumped me. Out of the blue. ✌️
Bug, a species of Largidae. East Kunderang, Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, NSW, Australia, September 2015.
Sharon (@sharritta) at 365Project.org challenge me this week to do a forced perspective shot.
I decided to combine that with a field trip to Victoria's Bug Zoo that I went on with an old friend.
I'm spending this week developing my professional web site (finally!), so I'm going to infill with some of the really groovy bug shots that I got on the weekend with my old friend LP.
This lady tarantula was quite tame. I even held her, which surprised me, as I'm quite terrified of spiders. Our guide put me at ease.
The Bug Zoo doesn't allow tripods, so lighting was definitely a challenge. I lost about 1/3 of my shots to camera shake and insufficient exposure. My macro lens opens up to f/2.8, but there's a lot going inside that lens that reduces its light output, so it's not a particulary fast f/2.8.
My VR macro lens has a 12" minimum focusing distance (close enough for me, thank you), which renders a wonderful 1:1 close up. However, as with any lens when you get this close, your DOF declines exponentially. Even at f/29, there's very little depth of field, and I couldn't get anywhere close to that, as it either forced an exposure too long to hand hold, or reduced my light to nothing when using the on-camera flash. I couldn't push it much past f/8.
Pushing the ISO to between 1600 and 2000 helped to shorten the shutter speed, but introduced a LOT of noise into the shot. Lightroom helped to mitigate that, but the adjustment brush liked to pick up the noise when Auto Masking while selecting each bug, making selection much more tedious.
I think next time I go, I'm going to rent a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. That should give me additional working distance, and provide me a greater depth of field at the same framing. I've shot with it before, and it's a *very* fast lens.
Very freaky viewed large.
Taken handheld with my Nikon D600 for 1/60th of a second at f/9, ISO 1600 with my Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR macro lens, using on-camera flash.

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.
