yes, it's an insect.

A mantis looks for lunch.

the automatic focus stack on my E-M1 mark 1 works pretty stunningly well

Bug memento. Sent these in thanks for allowing some shots to be used in a museum support fund raiser.

Haven't managed to persuade my wife to wear one yet

this poor bug is trapped in the pitcher plant's nectar and is being digested.

Thought I'd experiment a little with the close-up setting on the Rebel XT. Kind of interesting. :)

Harlequin bugs (Dindymus versicolor) are natives that are known to occur in southern to eastern Australian states. They are minor pests of ornamentals and soft fruits, though usually in urban gardens. They may also have minor carnivorous tendencies. Research shows they will eat larvae and other animal proteins - I've also personally observed cannibalism though most likely just opportunistic rather than predatory which may also apply to their carnivory in general.

The red colour in the patterns of the elytra and pronotum can vary from being dull and dark to being bright with sunburst qualities.

Photographed in an urban garden, Sandy Bay, Hobart, Tasmania.

Bug and Elu have fun in the rain walking on the side of the Sacré Coeur church.

Hehe, I have created a set called "Bug Porn". It's for those bugs that just couldn't get a room.

My new little kitten, June Bug :)

Found this bug / beetle on my ride in the east slope of the mountains Saturday. It was big (about 2 to 3 inches long), had grasshopper-like legs, and didn't move any body part except its eyes as I circled it. Anyone know what it is? And what's that pelvic anchor that's jammed into the ground? Is it (she?) burying eggs?

This bug was originally sitting on my laundry, eating it. If it hadn't been SUCH a cool bug, I would have screamed and shook it off, instead of running upstairs to get my camera.

Eric put it on this branch to show its cool camo skillz!
