OMG! I caught this thing hanging out on one of my couch pillows...it has to be one of the most creepy creatrues I have ever seen in my life!!! I don't think I have ever seen a bug this big in out house! Anyone have any guesses as to what it is?? I'd really like to know.
Wasn't this the creature from Cloverfield? ^_^

I put a note on there where the bug is. See him? (View at largest size; it helps.) Now this tiny weed flower is 3/4" in diameter measured petal tip to petal tip...so how tiiiiiiny is that bug?! :-D

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

This is our Bugs Away soap. It is an insect repellent in the shape of a caterpillar. It smells of citronella.

That last afternoon looking for creatures was quite a disappointment as not a lot was seen in spite of good weather.
Another interesting bug was one welocome sighting.
Bug Light opened in June 1875. The structure stands 24 feet high and is constructed of brick with a cast iron exterior. The design is based on the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, outside of Athens, Greece, which is dedicated to choral music. Portland, Maine 23 September 2025
I still cannot decide on trying to eat these bugs once in my life. But the smell of them does not let me do it.
Sitting at my desk after work I hear the sound of a bird, I turn around and there it was, on the stalk of a aloe vera plant on my front porch picking at bugs. Unfortunately I had to take the photo through my screen door :( I've never seen this bird before nore do I know what its called.
My mother's new kitten, which she has been telling me since she got it that it would have to go. Hopefully, she'll just keep saying that for the next 18 years.
This is Bugs, a 3 month old male Beagle/Hound mix.
I volunteered at PAWS Atlanta. I took photos of some of the dogs and cats that need homes. I thought I'd also remind people you can find great pets at shelters and in rescue groups. And of course, help control the pet population, please spay and neuter your pets!!
