I rarely take pictures of bugs, but this guy showed up and posed patiently in nice light. He has a cute cartoon face and fabulous eyes, right?
One of the few insects that feeds on milkweed. My tropical milkweed is currently hosting them along with yellow aphids and Monarch caterpillars. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
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.

lady bug or bug luv????? Many friends told me love is in the air, but I found luv bugs in the air instead.
One thing I found out about lady bugs is the patterns are actually formed in heart shape. For this one, I can actually count 8!!!!
No wonder lady bugs have been called the luv bugs. I totally agree.

Always surprised to find insects still out in November. The pretty colors help overcome the bad reputation stink bugs have.

Stilt Bug, Metatropis rufescens, (Berytidae family).
Length 9-11 mm.
This large and unmistakeable orange-brown Stilt Bug is a woodland species, feeding on the leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade, Circaea lutetiana, an indicator of ancient woodland. They feed predominantly on the reproductive organs of the plants.
Despite its name, Enchanter’s Nightshade is unrelated to other Nightshades. It actually belongs to the willowherb family and is found in sun-dappled woodland, flowering between June and September.
This Stilt Bug is found throughout much of southern Britain including Wales, although absent from Ireland. It occurs in shady, mostly moist habitats in deciduous forests.
Overwintering occurs as an imago, (the final and fully developed adult stage), under loose bark or dry ground litter. Mating occurs in May and the females lay their eggs individually in June and July on the stems and leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade. From August, sometimes also in July, the emergent new generation occurs, and nymphs can be found until September.
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.
also 16.52 for this week's theme: 'a bug's life' (or in this case: two bugs lives).
went out on my balcony to find a bug and was happy to find these two ;)
both pictures taken on apr 21.
Wonder why sometimes the bugs on the plants are upside down. Another life mystery. ;-) Oh and these flowers are Sweet Alyssum from my yard. They smell REALLY sweet and are teeny tiny.
Military grade surveillance bugs emerged in the early 20th century and while the creators attempted to design less intimidating subjects, other plans were afoot.

Milkweed Bug, probably Oncopeltus fasciatu.

I suspect this will offend someone or another but, I’m sorry, when something looks like a bug, to me, it’s a bug and not even an attractive looking bug in my opinion (although off-hand I can't think of any insect that I have found “attractive”)………..
So if your house is infected with the Stout Scarab bug, you need SLUG-a-BUG. It’s proven safe (or reasonably safe) for children, pets and even mother-in-laws (although the latter may not be what you’re looking for ). As far as I know the Stout Scarab bug is not particularly harmful, but it is distressful to look at and just think how you would feel having special guests over, relaxing in your living room as you are in the process of serving aperitifs’ when to your horror, a Stout Scarab crawls (or rolls) across your floor. How embarrassing! Your husband jumps to his feet and hollers, “Slug-a-Bug! Not a pleasant thing especially with your husband’s boss and his wife in the room…….
The low down on a Stout Scarab ---------------- (my inserts in italics))
When the Stout Scarab was introduced, there was nothing on the road quite like it. (I can understand that! ) Outside, it looked more like it was built by an airplane designer (or a Russian construction worker ) than by an automaker. In-fact, it was. (was what?) William B. Stout served as chief engineer of Packard's aircraft division during World War I. After the War, (suffering from acute “shell shock”) he designed a high-winged monoplane without the struts and wires that characterized earlier aircraft. Still later, his design for a three-engine commercial aircraft served as the inspiration for the successful Ford Tri-Motor. (thank God the Ford Tri-Motor didn’t look like this!
Not only did it have a unit construction body made out of light aluminum beer cans, it featured the famous 90 horsepower Ford flathead V8 engine placed at its exterior driving the rear wheels via a Stout-built three-speed manual transaxle. It has a 135-inch length (we not talking about a little ant here folks)!, 4-wheel independent coil spring suspension, and the most spacious (stomach) of any American car as the result of no running boards and no drive shaft tube. This $5,000 aerodynamically vehicle insect was well ahead of its time.
The Stout Scarab was an aerodynamic masterpiece (that’s a matter of opinion) that featured a rear-engine layout, flow through ventilation, concealed running boards, and modular seating. This particular example is the second Scarab created (captured).
The Scarabs were produced in very limited numbers, (I can understand why) with only nine examples created. Part of their rarity was due to their $5,000 price tag (per bug), an incredibly steep price in the post-Great Depression era, (not to mention the production of Slug-a-Bug) However, Scarabs did find homes with (in) some of America's industrial giants. Scout Scarabs resided in the garages (and their kitchens and living rooms) of the Wrigleys (chewing gum), the Dows (chemicals), the Strahanans (Champion Spark Plugs) and the Firestones. Mr. Stout was a close friend of these pioneers as well as Henry Ford.

While exploring the swamp I found my first giant water bug in some open water. This one is a nymph, soft & translucent. Found 2 interesting facts when I researched them. They can hide with heads in the water and butt up due to a breathing tube at the end of their abdomen. And females attach the eggs to the male's back so that he carries the babies until they hatch. They are predators & eat water insects as well as snails, small fish, and both tadpoles & adults frogs & toads.

I've been in Coventry visiting my parents for the weekend. Dad brought a conifer into the house to decorate as a Christmas tree - and a couple of juniper shield bugs came in with it :-) I haven't seen these in my garden, so a new photographic record from the weekend.
Handheld, natural light.
(NB. My photos-of-the-day were of family members so I've not made them visible for public viewing)
