The Portland Breakwater Light (also called Bug Light) is a small lighthouse in South Portland, Maine. The lighthouse's flashing red beacon helped guide ships from Casco Bay through the entrance to Portland Harbor.

Background/Origin Story:
Wally Wicklighter is your typical loser. He was a weak and uncoordinated child who was constantly razed and picked on by his peers. He's never been the best looking guy, nor does he have any social skills, so his luck in the love department could best be described as "non-existent". To top it off, Wally has never been able to successfully hold down a steady job.
Wally has found enjoyment in two hobbies. The first was in becoming an amateur entomologists, or a bug collector. Wally especially enjoyed the part where he got to shove pins into helpless, squirming little insects as he mounted them into their little boxes. The second, and... well... illegal pursuit that Wally found enjoyable was the "art" of arson. Wally loves fire, and he loves to set things ablaze. Junk mail, boxes, trashcans in the alley, even hospitals... he loves to torch everything he can set his matches to.
Wally came by his suit and flamethrower while working as a janitor at Watt Tech. Needless to say, he stole the suit... a third hobby that he is quickly developing a liking for is theft... after finding out that he was fired for wasting too much time retrieving insect carcasses from the light fixtures around the office. Now Wally Wicklighter is the insane incinerator known as the Fire Bug.

Wheel bug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wheel bug
Arilus cristatus Kaldari 02.jpg
Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Arthropoda
Class:Insecta
Order:Hemiptera
Family:Reduviidae
Subfamily:Harpactorinae
Genus:Arilus
Species:A. cristatus
Binomial name
Arilus cristatus
(Linnaeus, 1763)
The wheel bug (Arilus cristatus), in the family Reduviidae, is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, being up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) in length. A characteristic structure is the wheel-shaped pronotal armor. They are predators upon soft-bodied insects such as caterpillars, Japanese beetles, etc., which they pierce with their beak to inject salivary fluids that dissolve soft tissue. Because most of their prey are pests, wheel bugs are considered as beneficial to the garden as ladybugs. They are also known for eating stinkbugs.

Farmers knew of the Ladybird's value in reducing the level of pests in their crops and it was traditional for them to cry out the rhyme before they burnt their fields following harvests ( this reduced the level of insects and pests) in deference to the helpful ladybird:
Ladybug! Ladybug!
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire.
And your children all gone.
All except one,
And that's little Ann,
For she crept under
The frying pan.
Milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) know EXACTLY when the milkweed flowers (Asclepias tuberosa) are gone and the seedpods have formed. There are usually bugs of varying sizes on my plants. Here is a photos of a mating pair. Their offspring are all orange at first, and tiny.
One of my favourites from the archive that I hadn't uploaded yet. It's a Syrphus torvus hoverfly.
(Håret hageblomsterflue in Norwegian).
I spend the evening preparing for a family photo shoot tomorrow, a puppy shoot on Saturday and 5 confirmand photo shoots the next two weeks. Look forward to it!

See this guy and it wasn't but bout a half inch long plus I didn't notice the pinchers a the back till I had them on the computer.
We get lots of these bugs on our Acacia fimbriata when it's in flower. Their markings remind me of Art Deco designs.
Something a little different: Black corsair assassin bug (Melanolestes picipes) Dick Nichols Park, Austin, 3/22/19. 12-20 mm long. Feeds on other insects, can inflict a painful bite if handled, but does not transmit disease with its bite (unlike some other true bugs.)
And this is not only a visualization bug, no, this error is rendered in the image!

-- 16 Gig RAM, Intel i5, 3,2 GHz, Win 7 64 Bit
That Graphics card is (was, for one year) normally the perfect Photoshop workhorse and now this ....
The errors are gone, the moment I switch-off GPU acceleration, but who wants that ..?!
