Pitfall-style insect interceptors can be used to monitor for bed bugs. However, monitors can pick up other arthropods as well.

Taken at mercury vapour light in Thurlby, Lincolnshire, UK.

That day was sunny, warm, all around was calm. Even butterfly let me photographed and didn't fly away.

Ant macro taken at approximately 3:1.

 

Shot with a Canon 40D using an MPE-65. Canon MT24-EX for lighting.

 

Please check out my gallery for my other insect and spider macros.

The good thing about the cooler weather is that bugs are a bit sleepy. I certainly wouldn't normally get this close to a wasp!

This is a rare specie of insect, it exists only in São José dos Campos at São Paulo/Brazil, more specific, inside H8 at CTA, my college's lodging.

It's a joke, but I really never had seen an insect like this before '^^

Wet miner bee rescue.

Found this miner bee swimming about in the bucket of waste water whilst I was doing a partial water change on my tropical fish tank. Not sure but assume it must have been sitting on the watering can of fresh water. Anyway rescued it on my finger and let it dry out there. Quite hard to grab and setup a camera with a bee on your finger :)

I seem to turn into a peeping Tom.... Insect-wise (lol)

Shield bugs. Tend to favour our raspberry bushes as home, but mating here on a rhubarb flower. First sighting of green specimens, all previous years' have been an uniform brown.

Cimetière du Père Lachaise, Paris

The smallest thing I've managed to get in focus (just) so far. Still working on clarity.

Dragonfly having an insect for lunch. Let's hope it's a midgie.

 

Taken near Hunterston Castle during a walk from West Kilbride to Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland.

Melanargia galathea

So beautiful... sad to know that the average lifespan is 2 - 4 weeks!

Small braconid wasp. Focus stacked using zerene
