Upon arrival at our second destination in Puerto Rico (Isabela... everyone should go there. like now. It's paradise!!), we were greeted by these. They are huge, like bigger than my fingers! And of course, there's more of them on the blog.
The flower doesn't seem to be in the best shape. It appears to be partially eaten by bugs but it's still blooming. There is a bug in the center if you look closely. I think this is a dogwood flower.
I tried to implement multi-scale mean shift segmentation in Vigra, but something didn't quite work out. There is a strong directional bias that i can't quite explain.

This bug seems pretty streamlined but it was really slow. Kind of like building a porsche and giving it a go-kart engine.
Anybody know what it might be? This was one of the first pics I took after adding a third extension tube, so it's just a tad iffy.
I saw an early instar on a yew tree in the same area earlier in the year but this one was on hawthorn.

This is a bug that was looking through our door and at times directly at my camera. It must have seen its reflection and seeing something opposite, it may have thought it was an opportunity to meet someone. It followed my camera at times and I had to move some more backwards. it may have been uninvited, but i can't say it was unwelcome.
From the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History's insect exhibit. This skull? Stripped clean by beetiles.
This bug walked around the rim of the light in my living room for at least 30 min. I took about 40 photos and this was my favorite.
Marine Arthropod (Lateral View) -
He is not an insect, but I found him on the leafage. What is a crustacean doing in the jungle? I move forward and the alert bug jumped down the sandy ground immediately rolling into a protective ball. I can tell just by looking that he is the cousin of that evasive armadillo. The shell was glimmering like a Nautilus sea conch stranded on a beach and so appealing to see.
The green shield bugs (Palomena prasina) are coming out if hibernation more and more, with several seen this morning; still in their darker overwintering colour.
