I wish my air conditioner worked so I could close my windows and crazy bugs would stop getting in my house. And FYI, I captured this little guy and sent him safely on his way outside. (22/365)
A forest bug (Pentatoma rufipes); this shield bug is found in a wide range of deciduous trees, especially in orchards.
im not sure if this is a squash bug, or a broad-headed bug... cant tell from this angle...

Happened to find the instructions for careful placement of your plastic boxes that claim to produce a negative ion field.
Natalie found this little critter in our yard.I have no idea what, exactly, he is. But man, is he cute. I'm assuming those black eyes are fake, designed to make him look bigger and more dangerous. Frankly, it just makes him look more lovable.

I think these might be her children. Then again, they might be parasites.
Wasn't there a band called They Might Be Parasites?
This guy was a goner...not hard to see the crack there up front. Harder to see though are the ants that were devouring the insides. Go to larger image if you really care to see them scurrying on and around (all over really!) the deceased.
Commonly known as a cicada, a friend jokingly refers to them as big, ugly bugs. And they are noisy, too. It was early morning when I took this photo, and this one was still resting from yesterday's concert. Actually, everyone likes them, especially the birds--I've seen everything from blackbirds to mockingbirds to sparrows and even house sparrows chasing them (and the sparrow wasn't much bigger than the bug). Oh, yes... I even saw a cardinal chasing one. Call them protein on the wing.
