Finally, now the school holidays are over the sun came out and I went out for a walk late this afternoon.
Not just a bee (?) but another bug hiding behind a petal too - the petal at the top on the right.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
My first bug! Made this for my Designer Showcase in Belle Armoire Jewelry, Autumn 2011 issue. Polymer clay, textured with Whim-Z Wire base. The beetle is all polmer with wire legs.

Scientific classification

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.
One of my favourites from the archive that I hadn't uploaded yet. It's a Syrphus torvus hoverfly.
(HÃ¥ret 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!

Look no Damselflies, I thought I would give everyone a break from my postings of Damselflies, even though they are one of my fav insects, spotted these Shield Bugs mating, not sure of the ID, at first glance thought it was Sloe bugs but their not, can anyone ID them for me please
I've just had 6 weeks OS so I'm really looking forward to getting out and about with the Tas bugs again.
I can only see two tarsal segments on this bug nymph, but I suspect I'm being duped and it is actually Pentatomidae?? It was on one of prolific, weedy grass infested beds we call "garden".
Now that I've made that call it is guaranteed to be wrong :-)
