I was drawn to these bright red berries while out for a walk with camera and macro lens in tow. It wasn't until after I loaded this shot on my computer that I noticed first one then a second bug. That was quite an unexpected suprise.

Tried fiddling around with Picnik - didn't realize I could do this effect.
I know I shouldn't say this and I know everything has a purpose - but I hate these things. They give me the creeps. There I am sitting in the garden, minding my own business, when one of these brutes lands on my arm and tucks in. Yuuuugh.

I had no idea that these True Bugs (Hemiptera) hatch at this time of the year.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/60, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key on a Kaiser Adjustable Flash Shoe and "B" as the fill). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I held onto the plant stem with my left index finger and thumb and rested the lens on that same hand to keep everything steady. Also dragged the shutter to expose for the sky.
*Bug;
A persistent error in software or hardware. If the bug is in software, it can be corrected by changing the program. If the bug is in hardware, new circuits have to be designed.
Although the derivation of bug is generally attributed to the moth that was found squashed between the points of an electromechanical relay in a computer in the 1940s, the term goes back to the 1800s to refer to flaws in mechanical systems.

"Reality offers us such wealth that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify. The question is, do we always cut out what we should? While we are working, we must be conscious of what we are doing. Sometimes we have the feeling that we have taken a great photo, and yet we continue to unfold."

I found this little visitor in my backyard. The camera was only a couple of centimetres away from this guy, and I kept thinking he was going to jump at me, like those face sucking aliens from the movies. Luckily he stayed still like a good little insect.

Detail of the eye of the last instar (nymph) of an African bug (Lubumbashi, DR Congo, January 2013, ID?). Specimen is about 7mm long; it was preserved in ethanol for 3 months, taken out and immediately photographed to avoid dessication of the eyes.
Studio stack based on 97 images (ISO100, 1", Apo Gerogon 240mm as tube lens with iris set on 16, 3x Jansjo leds diffused through paper cylinder). Zerene stacker (Dmap, Pmax), treated moderately in LR (CA), Picasa & GIMP (artifacts, but not all). Cropped from 2.7mm wide to 2mm, now magnification of about 18x (FF).
A fly with a very shiny green body on a very yellow flower. Spotted in the walled garden at Burton Agnes Hall. Fortunately the sun came out and increased the background contrast for me.
BTW , loads of butterflies fluttering around. But as I had the wrong lens on, they took flight immediately I moved toward them, unlike this friendly fly who stayed still for ages.
I found this bug wandering around out in the conservatory - moving nice and slowly for me. Ultra-macro shot around 1.6x magnification.
First discovered by miners on the moons of Etlon while mining for tungsten, this small stinging creature soon found it's way into their transport ships and now is a plauge across the entire fifth quadrent. Loves hiding in space boots, toilets, and under your bed. Better off to check before you go to sleep.
Small little alien bug. Tablescaper. Lots of new white spikes for me to try, and this is what came out.
