Bug
The lady bugs are like reddish-orange immovable tanks on the borage plant. The ants can't touch them.
It is so tiny. OPEN in "All sizes" to see more detail. These bugs are annoying my hibiscus plants a lot and cause mutant growth. Along with the shield bugs they cause many problems. There are over 330 000 insects in Australia and it is hard to identify them but I will try.
For another photo, even more macro of this bug open this:- www.flickr.com/photos/25747229@N00/356238417/
Same bugs as the previous pic but a bit more close and personal.

Torpedo Bug (Siphanta acuta), one of the flatid planthoppers (Flatidae), Redwood City, San Mateo Co., CA - September 2008. This species is an invasive insect from Australia that can be a pest of ornamental plants.
Leaf-footed Bug 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.
The Bug was one of last years highlights in dubstep teritory. And he doesn't even make dubstep! He sure is a more versatile dj, playing everything between dancehall, electro ragga, dub, grime and dark electronics.
He was a guest @ the Harmonic 313 release party in Overtoom 301, a squat club that hosts regular dubstep parties.
This is it! Caught on camera for the very first time, it's the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal!
You can see the shear intelligence of the alien beast when you stare into its bug eyes, as it crawls along like an insect version of Spiderman. Not sure what that would be called... Manspider? Mansect? Spiderbaby?
Anyway, whatever it was, it let itself into the house, surveyed the entire kitchen for several hours and then left the same way it got in, presumably back to its home planet to brief the others.
They're about sixteen feet long by my reckoning. Or 1.5cm if you'd feel more comfortable accepting the tape measure's alternative viewpoint.

Pompadour gets to wear the pink version of Bugged, of course ;) She is a Valentine's day Sybarite and a girly girl after all!
So today I was taking a picture of a sunflower and some of its pollen fell out. I decided to take pictures of the pollen, so I was tapping the flower to get pollen to fall. Out fell this little bug that was hiding in there! He kept getting caught up in all the pollen and I thought it was kind of cute. Little tiny sunflower bug. Look at all the pollen trapped in his legs!
