Leaffooted Bug (A true bug!), Leptoglossus oppositus

------------

This bug was on the outside of the window and all other reflections (camera lens, etc.), dirt specs and outdoor images are as they appeared and have not been added or manipulated.

Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family. Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops. Like members of some other genera in the family, these bugs have leaflike dilations of the hind tibia. Leptoglossus oppositus is one of a variety of species of leaf-footed bugs. It looks very much like Leptoglossus fulvicornis but can be distinguished by the deeper scallops in the leaf-like feature of the hind tibia and the addition of three white spots across the hemelytra.

This bug was everywhere in Sipadan Kapalai Diving Resort.

This guy was already dead and floating in a fresh water tank for rinsing diving gears, and I couldn't help to shoot it since it was soooo beautiful.

(231/365) It's that time of year. Green Shield bugs busy making baby bugs. Happy Bokeh Wednesday, HIHD & HHD! I think the bugs were quite happy too lol

Getting familiar with my Nikon 105mm 1:1 f/2.8 micro lens. Depth of field is super narrow so trying mess with focus points, focal length, and lighting with and without flash.

Not sure what kind of bug this is or how such a small bluebird can swallow them whole, but it did!

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

Can you help identify this bug? I think it is a young Damsel Fly but not sure, any help would be appreciated

(flickr is acting very weird tonight... "so"...)

This little Boxelder bug is looking for a warmer place to spend the winter, so they try to crawl into a crevice somewhere to chill. I love the face on it's back. I'm sure it's a way of warding off predators.
