I almost missed this chap as he posed in the weak sunshine hoping to attract a mate.
To lok this smart he must have attended The Ugly Bug Ball but without success.
Beautiful bugs - I have them in compromised positions too...

Apologies for the crap-quality photo. I was in a hurry and none of my photos came out well. Does anyone have a clue what this weird little bug is? Have I photographed it upside down? I don’t know! It was on the sliding door on my back balcony. [Blue Mountains, NSW]
EDIT: Many thanks to Maurice for identifying this as a weevil, Oemethylus triangularis.
Rosina inspired this one with her awesome VW Bug shots. I saw this one parked down the street and couldn't help myself.
Thanks Rosina!

Bugs are good for software engineers at work, but not in the bed room.

Ling posing with Bugs Bunny on the beach. Only after the pics were taken did we find out it costs 20RMB. The Chinese tourists seemed to take this approach pretty much in stride though.
A collection of travel bugs that I've accumulated for our camping trip scheduled for next month.
For those of you not in the know, these travel bugs can be tracked by individual code numbers at the www.geocaching.com website.
I'm using this shot as my entry for this week's theme in the HooHah52 weekly challenge of Signs. Whenever I accumulate a large assortment of travel bugs, it's a sign that summer vacation is very close (three more teaching days and I'm done). It's a sign that I'm getting ready to go on an extended camping/geocaching trip. Last year, I don't remember how many travel bugs we moved along, but I do know we found 105 geocaches while camping in and around Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.
I'm hoping for similar numbers this year. Destination is still up in the air, but I think we're going to be staying closer to home, at least in California this year.
Acanthocephala or Leaf footed Bugs are distinctive, nearly inch-long stately insects in the Coreidae family. Leaf footed bugs are named for the leaf-like expansions of the hind tibia and femora. They have four-segmented antennae, large compound eyes and one pair of ocelli, or simple eyes. The Latin name Acanthocephala means “spiny head.”
All species of Coreidae are plant-feeders. Some Coreids live in leaf litter, but most nymphs and adults live above ground on their host plants where they may feed on seeds, fruits, stems or leaves. Many occur on an astonishing variety of plants, while some are restricted to a single host, such as the squash bug, known for its destructive feeding on cucurbitaceae.
These insects have a distinctive proboscis, a “hypodermic-like” beak. “Like all true bugs, the adults are equipped with a beak, or rostrum, a hypodermic needle-like device carried under the head, which it uses to pierce the plant tissue and suck out liquids. They do not simply "suck out sap" they inject a tissue-dissolving saliva and vacuum out the resulting slurry. Bugs cannot ingest solid food, and widespread damage to the plant is a result of these liquefying enzymes.

Tigger is a really sweet cat, but to be honest, I think his posing days are over! He was very cooperative in the past when he lived in Sugar Mill Gardens, and knew that posing would somehow ensure some kind of food reward, but now that he gets plenty to eat, his tolerance of the camera is limited! He still loves visitors, though, and everyone who comes over to my house is immediately greeted by him, meowing, preening, and drooling from happiness! (Yes, cats drool when they're content. Yuk.)
Right now, he's laying curled up against my bed pillow, something I haven't been able to break him of, but he looks so cute that I can't shoo him! It's almost bedtime, so all the cats, Barrymore and Squeegee, too, are assembled right next to me, waiting for their nightly tuna. So, goodnight for now!
