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

Tokyo, Japan

I had 20 minutes to kill this morning so I hooked up the macro lens and chased this blue bug

My favorite weather

Has come out today

It begged me

To come out to play

Please don't bug me

Please go away

I have a date

With a beautiful day.

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.

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.

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.

The goggles caught the flash from the strobe at just the right angle to make this crazy glow from her eyes. The water in the pool had started to become clouded with ash from the wild fires that are burning this week.

This thing is as long as my little finger and its brothers/sisters are trying to eat all of my herb garden.

Fascinating looking little bug.

I found this bug in my yard, perhaps it is a stink bug, I really do not know. Thanks to my friend Christine and a check with Google I now know this is a Crusader bug

Outside at work this AM...

This creature scares me I don't know what species it is. It's like a magnified mosquito.

I DID MY RESEARCH IT'S A CRANE FLY
