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.
Black, bites on human, hunts you out wherever you rest. Nest finally found in open bag of multi bird seed. Eats seeds.
Climbs walls
Found in bathroom
then tracked next room dryer machine, humid conditions where large open bag of bird seed was.
Fly n bug killer sprayed regularly now.
Some Weevils can reproduce young on their own.
Found this little Eight-spotted Forester caterpillar (Alypia octomaculata) dangling under a grape leaf in my yard.
When you're heading home after the long weekend, don't get "bugged" setting in traffic and looking at taillights!

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).
'Although bugs/ spiders kind of make my skin crawl, I have a fascination with them. It's been a cool & wet Spring so insects have been slow to show up but I did spot a few while walking Jasmine at the lake.
