Speke Hall
The kitchen garden in the grounds of Speke Hall. The little wooden building by the terracotta bell pots on the left, is a hotel for bugs and insects. The beds in the garden are planted with potato’s, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and numerous other veg. In the far right corner is an area dedicated to herbs.
The building with the very wonky chimney that is situated just outside the garden is now a cafe, In the 1600’s this was a much large timber framed barn.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
I guess they like raspberries as much as I do.

I don't usually tend to double up with my uploads but this is another shot of the Brown Shield Bugs on my Tibouchina tree taken two days ago after a small petal fell on them during overnight rain and scattered them a bit. This shot was again taken end on with near maximum aperture but with a flash and shows the reality we face dealing with shallow depths of field.
I was doing a bit of research over the weekend and was also amazed at the difference to DOF that different focal lengths make. For instance with two otherwise similar lenses with otherwise similar settings, a factor of two in differential focal length (say 105mm to say 60mm) results in DOF's for the same aperture that can be five or more times different. That's a significant amount and meaningful in terms of outcomes of macro photography and shots.
A bit of a different subject for once. I found a colony of these bugs on a plant at the resort. They have a bit of a strange "trunk" in place of the mouth.
Temporary ID: Dysdercus sp. nymph
Pretty sure about the Genus now. Exact species still to be determined.
Even if I never know... I think they look cool 😊
I SCREAMED for a blue sheet as I saw this tiny yellow bug with its black dots! :)) (Fortunately, I had it laying around…)
Tools: Aperture, Dfine 2, Viveza 2 and Color Efex Pro4.
The Sloe Bug is a very common bug in southern parts of England and Wales, getting scarcer going northwards, and is not found in Scotland. It is also known as the Hairy Shieldbug as they are covered in tiny brown hairs.
I was fascinated to read on the Garden Safari wwebsite, that "Of all the stink bugs this one is the worst. It really loves berries, especially Honeysuckle and Raspberries. It walks all over them, leaving behind an awful stinking substance. This makes all berries it walked over inedible. Like in other Stink Bugs the substance is made for protection. A bird or other enemy will eat only one bug in its entire live. Afterwards it will always remember the dreadful taste and will never touch another bug again." www.gardensafari.net/en_picpages/dolycoris_baccarum.htm
The beautiful Eucalyptus rhodantha capsules giving a really bug eyed view of themselves. Kings Park, Perth. The native vegetation is suffering badly from excessive drought as well as boring South Asian insect pest that managed to get into Perth and is devastating many species. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_rhodantha
Countless Alco switchers were rebuilt with Caterpillar or Cummins engines, and sold to small mine operations throughout Appalachia. Most had their cabs removed or sealed shut, and operated by remote control, or from a utilitarian control stand. They were known generically as “bug slugs”, in deference to having a Caterpillar engine.
From what I have been able to piece together, at least two were built for the Kentucky-Ohio Transportation Company of South Shore, Kentucky. They were built by Johnson Railway Services of Taylorsville, North Carolina in 1980. The rebuilt units had a control stand on the steps, as is evidenced by the “phone booth on the former cab end steps. Somehow, this unit ended up in Baltimore, Maryland, by 1985.
A bug, possibly of the Pentatomidae family, but I cannot get any closer than that..
Suburban Canberra, Australia, January, 2017.
There are aphids on this rosebud. Apparently, the big one is a mother who has given birth to all the little ones.
The camera can see better than I can. I had no idea there were bugs there.
There were ladybug larvae on the roses last year, so hopefully they will appear and gobble up the aphids.
Kind of stands out in a crowd with those bold colors. It's a milkweed assassin bug nymph. A lot of insects associated with milkweed have the bright orange & black colors to warn predators they are toxic. This bug is not really associated with milkweed and got its name due to the resemblance to milkweed (nonassassin) bugs that do feed on milkweed. This one was on my Indian Hawthorn hedges. Confused yet?

I got a macro lens for Christmas but the weather has been so atrocious, I've not had the chance to use it. It was finally dry today so I took it out. This was the only thing that caught my eye. It was taken in a hurry as the fly buzzed off rather too quickly. Hopefully the weather will improve and I'll be able to capture some more pleasing images. :)

Just as her perfect wig finally arrives, I've only gone and lost her kitty ears headband! I've looked everywhere for it :/ Grrrr
Wants, Heteroptera
Heteroptera is a group of about 40,000 species of insects in the Hemiptera. Sometimes called "true bugs", that name more commonly refers to Hemiptera as a whole, and "typical bugs" might be used as a more unequivocal alternative since among the Hemiptera the heteropterans are most consistently and universally termed "bugs". "Heteroptera" is Greek for "different wings": most species have forewings with both membranous and hardened portions (called hemelytra); members of the primitive Enicocephalomorpha have wings that are completely membranous.
The name "Heteroptera" is used in two very different ways in modern classifications; in Linnean nomenclature it commonly appears as a suborder within the order Hemiptera, where it can be paraphyletic or monophyletic depending on its delimitation. In phylogenetic nomenclature it is used as an unranked clade within the Prosorrhyncha clade which in turn is in the Hemiptera clade. This results from the realization that the Coleorrhyncha are actually just a "living fossil" relative of the traditional Heteroptera, close enough to them to be actually united with that group.

I watched a video that said to use a flash outdoors when you photograph flowers. So, I tried it with one of my prime lenses and sure enough, it works pretty good. However, not so good with yellow flowers. In fact, the yellow wild flowers were hard to photograph period. The bug, don't know what kind, was a bonus. I didn't see him until I processed the image..:)
