Milkweed bugs are usually found in groups on milkweed plants , often on the underside of the leaves. The plant produces a milky white sap when a leaf is removed. These plants are large (3-4 feet high) with sprays of small white flowers in the summer. In the fall , seed pods develop which are 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. When the seeds ripen, the seed pods open up releasing the seeds which float on fluffy white parasols. Milkweed bugs can be found on seed pods piercing the wall of the pod to feed on seeds. Milkweed bugs are one of a small group of insects that have the ability to tolerate the toxic (poisonous) compounds in the milkweed plant. They are therefore important in regulating populations of this plant.

Development for the bug poster I had to create so I started looking at different patterns that I could apply to the bug and different colour schemes to the bug to see if it gave a different effect or feeling when certain colour schemes were applied.

Box and the Bug in the yard. I'm amused that the Bug is (even lowered) nearly as tall as Box, longer than Box, and not that much smaller overall.
The bug is sold and the guy buying it is supposed to come pay it off and pick it up tomorrow. Wanted to get some last shots before it goes away.
Found this little bug on my window screen when I got home from work. Have not seen one of these for a very long time.

Again, another color of the previous bug that i posted. It difficult to believe that they are one and the same
bugs making more bugs. i'm thinking it doesn't matter if they have the lights on or not, 'cause they're not likely to be able to see each other
3D Max - learning this software and frankly its confusing!!
This is the first go at doing one of the bugs... it only has the one leg - I re-done him now so I'll post that up at some point...
still to do the 'Two Legged Bug' as yet (the main character ;-))
it's for a game called The Bug Who Had Two Legs.

This leaf was literally covered in bugs, the majority fell off when I tipped it up for a picture. They seem to like this plant.

Trying out a friends 100mm macro lens. Found this little guy near a swampy area with lots of birds around.
Lighting info: One bare 430exII (handheld), camera left, sidelighting the grass and bug. Triggered with pocketwizard plus II's.
One hand held the camera, one hand held the flash. Not the easiest setup by any means, but it seemed to work out ok!
Joe - here is the Anthocoris that was on the same plant as that red bug nymph i uploaded the other day from Kingussie, cairngorm National Park, Scotland.
Does it help in IDing that nymph at all?
