This cool bug decided that my Sigma lens bag was the perfect place to rest :-)

I found this little chap on an outside wall and can't identify it.

Anyone know?

 

Edit. Now identified as final instar nymph of Parent Bug (Elasmucha grisea).

I met this guy in Howth, Republic of Ireland in 2017

It was a dark and stormy day.

 

One minute, it was a mottled, ho-hum cloudy kind of day. The kind you hate. The kind that makes you wish it was a few hours earlier or later; the better for the weather to start throwing a temper tantrum, or something. So it was going at the Bug Ranch in Conway, Texas, on Route 66.

 

Well, I wasn't paying attention. Suddenly I noted that the sky had turned, not black, but into a sheer opaque beige wall of dust and grime advancing on me which completely obscured the buildings and highway I had been fretting about in the foreground of my proposed shots. The wind rose, the temperature dropped, and the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I ran for the car, and found shelter just as a crescendo of wind and sound and spitting rain started keening around me.

 

Fifteen minutes later it was gone, but it left lasting damage on I-40 going east: a five or six hour delay cleaning up a massive four-semi accident, where at least one trucker lost their life and several others were injured.

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.

Bugs Fardell / kickflip - Melbourne - Australia - 2013

This tiny bug can hardly make a good macro shot for me. I blame it on its size and the competency level of the kit lens used. And yet I still think it lives up well to my bokeh upload with some sense of depth perception.

 

Let me share a little profile on this petite creepy-crawly, I think it belongs to a stink bug family. I remember this type of bug is quite a nuisance that would discharge stinky smell when they got disturbed. In a good dry season they may congregate in millions. It is known to be agricultural pest that causes widespread damage to fruits, vegetables and crops.

 

When you see this kind of bug, don’t try to pick it up, just take a picture and leave.

 

Don’t bug the bug!

  

HBW everyone!

Series of three. My allotment sweetcorn has become home to some interesting bugs and a green cricket. Unfortunately my book does not help with identification. So, any suggestions gratefully received. East Sussex area.

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.

backyard capture in chesterfield

This is going to be a buggy year. We've already had spiders, ticks, all the roses near here have aphids already and yesterday I saw this yellow grasshopper. Ours have always come in green before so I took his photo. He was good about posing and waited for me to go inside and get the camera. Hoping for fame no doubt.

ok, i will forever be a fan of the fireflys... but wow, i am totes over tennessee and all of their bugs. personal cloud of gnats aside, i think i've been preyed upon by at least 100 different species of creepy-crawlies.

 

thank goodness we're finally on the road again.

(ps.. hope to have wifi again soon. apologies for slow responses!)

On the fence again (!) here is a juvenile Woody looking for tasty bugs.

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

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.

 

I have no idea what kind of insect this is but I thought he was kind of cool looking. Anyone?
