I came across this Assassin Bug on a tombstone at the old Hollins University graveyard in Roanoke VA - October 2008. I didn't know what kind of bug this was when I took this photo -- I looked it up later on the web. If I had known about it's extremely painful bite, I might not have gotten this close to it. If you like this photo, you should look this bug up on the web. It's a fascinating little creature.
My lovely old BugPuss, we had to have her put down today (18 June 2014). We found her 'floppy' in the garden and after carrying out tests, the vets believe she had ingested a a toxin (probably anti-freeze) which had caused neurological damage and acute kidney failure - She had a good innings anyway, but I'm deeply saddened as I was very attached to her! :(

It fell from above, stood still on the window ledge for about 15 seconds while I took its picture, and then was crushed under the foot of a squirrel reaching for a nut. It was about 1cm long. Seen in Newton, Massachusetts.

BUG TUSSLE, TEXAS. Bug Tussle is at the junction of Farm Road 1550 and State Highway 34, ten miles south of Honey Grove and five miles north of Ladonia in southeastern Fannin County. The community was initially called Truss, after John Truss, who settled there. It was founded in the 1890s and had a post office in 1893-94. Later the town's name was changed to Bug Tussle. At least three explanations exist for this unusual name. The most popular is that the name commemorated an invasion of bugs that spoiled a church ice cream social. A variation on this anecdote suggests that the relatively isolated spot, long popular as a site of Sunday school picnics, offered little else for picnickers to do after they ate than watch the bugs tussle. A third story tells of an argument between two old-time residents who wanted to change the name of the town. Their attention was diverted by the spectacle of two tumblebugs fighting. "Look at those bugs tussle," one reportedly remarked, thus settling the argument and rechristening the town. More than seventy Bug Tussle highway signs have been stolen over the years, and for a time it was fashionable for couples to come there to be married, just so that they could say they had been wed in Bug Tussle. Bug Tussle reported only six residents by 1962, but experienced a brief renaissance when the David Graham Hallqv foundation took a fifteen-year lease on the downtown area in order to restore it. From 1966 to the mid-1980s the renovated town, sometimes called West Bug Tussle, had a population of thirty and capitalized on its unusual name by producing a number of souvenir items under the "Made in Bug Tussle, Texas" logo. In 1990 its population was reported as fifteen.
our hidden camera caught this dead fly, and dead bee warming up to each other, and sharing some eskimo kisses together.

A browser bug or an organizr bug?
Not sure what these bug are, I found them on a bulrush in our pond, I have seen them the last year or so and found they abseil down a silken thread they anchor to the reed, it also helps to have a breeze this will then help carry them further away from were they hatched.
Ah, spring! The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and the bugs are spattering themselves across my face shield with reckless abandon.
I've tried to get this bug identified on Bowerbird, but so far it has been narrowed down to a coreid, from the tribe Amorbini (Coreinae). Apparently it bears similarities to a genus of Coreid called Kurrajongia, found in NSW and Queensland, first described in 1998.
On the Brisbane Insects pages the closest I can find is the Eucalyptus Tip-wilter bugs (Amorbus species): www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_coreidbugs/Amorbini.htm.
