Our daughter Marie-France just finished her third year in Zoology at Guelph University and is visiting us for a week before she goes back for summer employment. On Sunday we explored Cooper Marsh Conservation Area. Marie-France brought her bug collecting kit and was successful in collecting a few specimens. The outing also gave me a chance to try out a Lecia M10 that my good friend Perry McKenna lent me for a few weeks.

Jewel Bug (Chrysocoris)
Scutelleridae is a family of true bugs. They are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often
brilliant coloration. They are also known as shield-backed bugs due to the enlargement of the last section of their thorax
into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings.[1] This latter characteristic distinguishes them from most other families
within Heteroptera, and may lead to misidentification as a beetle rather than a bug. These insects feed on plant juices
from a variety of different species, including some commercial crops. Closely related to stink bugs, they may also produce
an offensive odour when disturbed. There are around 450 species worldwide..

I was testing my latest home-made softbox and overdid the rim lighting (I'm trying to come up with a way of not having to lug lots of supporting equipment for the flashes around). I rather like the end result though, even if there isn't much detail in the insect's face. This guy was very tiny - his head was about 1mm wide. I chased him around his leaf holding the camera in one hand and a 430EX flashgun in the other.

First one of these I’ve seen in a long time. We have always called them June bugs or June beetles, but their actual name is Cotinis nitida. They can be fairly destructive, but I don’t think there is an abundance of them around here, so I let him go his merry way. (He may have actually been brought in with the storm yesterday.)

Decided to go out in the yard and see if this was possible.

This thing is as long as my little finger and its brothers/sisters are trying to eat all of my herb garden.
They weren't functional, but Zingers had full-scale engines. The one on the bug was topped by two superchargers! It has a wheelie bar and brake parachute at the back.
