I found an assassin bug quite literally at the front door of my house, and was inspired to create one Bug Fables-ish style
Box Bug (Gonocerus acuteangulatus)
This one suddenly appeared flying across my office and landed on a power lead...
In the beginning - before the spider count began - I had a goal to get a "nice" stink bug nymph.
It looks a bit like this Predatory Stink Bug (Asopinae) Podisus on bugguide: bugguide.net/node/view/117565/bgimage
Found in a field down the street in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Corrections appreciated.
These were all over the property at Andelot Farm, everywhere this type of grass seed was.

I noticed this group of Boxelder bugs gathered on this piece of wood. Their red on black coloring is pretty striking. For a bug.

I needed to take a break, so I worked this little jewel in about an hour and a half. I love all of Charles Wysocki's puzzles!
The Bug Nebula, NGC 6302, is one of the brightest and most extreme planetary nebulae known. The fiery, dying star at its center is shrouded by a blanket of icy hailstones. This NASA Hubble Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 image shows impressive walls of compressed gas, laced with trailing strands and bubbling outflows. A dark, dusty torus surrounds the inner nebula (seen at the upper right).
At the heart of the turmoil is one of the hottest stars known. Despite a sizzling temperature of at least 450,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the star itself has never been seen, as it is hidden by the blanket of dust and shines most brightly in the ultraviolet, making it hard to observe. The Bug Nebula lies about 4,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Scorpius.

An adorable 1960s haiku book (published in Tokyo) that sings the praises of insects and plants of all kinds. It's illustrated with lovely drawings by late California artist Earl Thollander.

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.
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.
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 :-)

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!
System:
-- Adobe Photoshop CC, newest update
-- Geforce, GTX 750 Ti, newest drivers
-- 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 ..?!

Some bugs I found in my new backyard.
I really appreciate feedback on my photos, but I don't want graphics in the comments unless it's relevant to my photo. A similar photo by you, for instance.
No group invitation graphics or 'this image was seen in ...' graphics. It's just annoying and clutters up the comments.
