This is a True Katydid, Pterophylla camellifolia. I'm probably too picky, but the true katydid posted is actually a MALE. Males of some katydids have elaborate subgenital plates that resemble a female's ovipositor, so it is really easy to make that mistake. The stridulatory area on the front wings (the brown triangle at the top of the insect in the nice photo) confirms that it is a male. Females do not have modifications of the front wings. Just keepin' you on your toes

Some bug shots from a visit to highdown gardens Worthing. First time I've knowingly seen a robber fly. I just do not get them in my garden. Unfortunately taken in strong natural light
A really patient bug from the backyard, it´s been in the same branch for days. It´s pretty small, about 15 mm and is kind of smelly: it gives an ugly smell if you disturb it. That´s kind of a surprise since all the smelly bugs I have seen before are plain brown instead of yellow, maybe it's a matter of gender or this is a completely different specie
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.

This is a combination of images altered with Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. I'm working on first choosing a shape, then getting it, (the black in this image for example), to move as a floating object. Then I move it over a larger image until I find a position, size, and rotation, so that the, (bug image in this example), seems most pleasing. Then I merge flat, or rastorize, to fuse the 2 layers.

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.

My friend, Barb, LOVES her Bug.
When I was lending her a hand, one day recently, I had a Weekly Assignment on Photoworkshop.com, "Blue", floating lazily in the back of my mind.
I set about extracting images from Her Cerulean Highness.
Lots of plant bugs and pollen beetles on this umbellifer flower.

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.
