First time trying false nails , having seen this on a female friend asked where she got them and tried them I do very much like wearing them better than chipped polish
A False Milkweed Bug (Lygaeus turcicus) I found and photographed not far from home in the 1000 Islands Region, Ontario, Canada.

These will soon grace the top of an 8" cake for a Dental Hygienist! They're having very mixed reviews on Facebook, lol!
Scientific name: Zoropsis spinimana
Size: Males up to 12mm, Females up to 19mm
Distribution: Rare, but found in some parts of England - especially in and around London.
Months seen: All year round
Habitat: Mostly in houses and out buildings
Food: Invertebrates
Special features: False Wolf Spiders Zoropsis spinimana are pale brown in colour with a greyish blush. There is a row of two or three black blobs along the middle of the abdomen which look like badly painted diamond shapes. The legs are also speckled with black. They have eight eyes arranged in four groups of two (one above the other).
This spider has recently been introduced to the UK. It originates from the Mediterranean area, so being more used to milder climates prefers to be indoors in the UK. It has also recently been introduced to the San Francisco area of the United States.
False Wolf Spiders are active at night. They hunt their prey actively by chasing it down. Like most spiders they have enough venom to inflict a temporarily painful bite, but not enough to do any serious harm.
In case anyone is wondering...yes, those are false eyelashes stuck to the mirror. Two of my friends got married here last year. One of them stuck her eyelashes here so she could find them again. They are now a permanent fixture.
The site is called “False Kiva” because people falsely believed the main round structure is a kiva or ceremonial room. However, these big structures were fairly common shelters for ancenstral Puebloan people living in the area around A.D. 1200. Partial excavation and stabilization of the big structure in 1986 showed it was only used for daily activities like cooking and sleeping. The absence of a midden or garbage area indicates the site was only occupied for a short time, although the presence of the storage cists indicate that foods were stored there.
I believe the small anomaly to the left of the sun in this picture is called a Sun Dog. Something to do with ice crystals in the high atmosphere apparently. It is an actual phenomena that is visible to the naked eye, not something created by the camera lens. Apparently there should be another one at an equal distance from the sun on the right hand side but that was obscured by the hill side.
I've been playing with infrared and the X100. This is taken using a 720nm IR filter and is essentially handheld (I was pushing the camera against a fence for stability). The X100 doesn't appear to block much infrared (hurrah!) which means I don't need to such long exposures to get a result.
Here I've tried a false colour edit. It's sort of ended up looking 'a bit instagram', but I still like it. ;)
This is the Saga Ruby cruise ship in dock at Southampton. The dome on the horizon is Marchwood incinerator.
For anyone interested, the SOOC version and a 'normal' shot of the same scene are here:
Infrared doesn't really add much here as there's no plant life, but I do think it gives it a slightly eerie feel.
More experimentation required. :)
