Mysterious Insect

Loni found an insect on the door to the cottage when we arrived.

We didn’t know what it was, but it was so unusual and pretty to us that I snapped a picture. It’s smaller than it appears here, as this was an extreme closeup of it.

I have tried to make some close ups just for fun.

UIt de Wikipedia:

De naam lieveheersbeestje is een herinnering aan de tijd dat de Germanen in Europa gekerstend werden. De bestaande Germaanse naam voor het kevertje, Freyafugle, vogel van de godin Freya, werd verchristelijkt tot onzelievevrouwebeestje of lieveheersbeestje.[1][2] De eerste vertaling leeft voort in het Duits (Marienkäfer) en Engels (ladybird, in Amerika veranderd in ladybug, wat eigenlijk juister is); de tweede in het Nederlands en Frans (bête à bon Dieu, al is coccinelle gebruikelijker). De Franse naam is in het Iers verbasterd tot bóín Dé, wat ook Gods koetje kan betekenen.

The third solar term falls around 5 March when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 345 degrees. The weather starts to get warmer and thunder of spring awakens the insects.

There is a custom of eating pears on the day of Insects Awaken. Maintain a light diet by eating food rich in plant-based protein and fresh vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, Chinese celery, chicken, egg, milk, aloe, summer radish, bitter gourd, Malabar spinach, rapeseed, Chinese yam, lotus seed and white fungus. In spring, when nature invigorates, it is better to sleep and wake up early. A leisurely walk can keep you healthy and your spirits up.

I think this is a Dragonfly and not a Damselfly. Laguna Lake, San Luis Obispo, CA.

I was delighted to see several young Praying mantis in the tall weeds at the edge of my yard. This fellow was in the process of trying to leave when i snapped his photo

Spiny stick insect we found at night. More night finds here: orionmystery.blogspot.com/2012/05/night-macro.html

None of the flies (or other insects) in my photos are frozen or dead. None have been manually 'posed'. All are photographed alive and well in their natural environment, unless they are being killed or eaten by another insect in the photo.
