What's a car show without some crazy cars? At one time, this was just a plain VW Beetle. The owner turned it into the Bug Rat and proudly showed it at the 2018 Syracuse Nationals Hot Rod and Muscle Car Show in the New York State Fairgrounds.
Classic color combo with some strange bugs, the
Red Shouldered Bugs - Jadera haematoloma.
"Jadera bugs feed on leaking tree sap, dead insects or fallen seeds from nearby trees. They feed on the sap from foliage, flowers and buds, and as a matter of fact, are actually quite beneficial to your backyard garden."

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.
These were all over the property at Andelot Farm, everywhere this type of grass seed was.

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.

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.

This fellow was annoying me bigtime, it entered the house and refused to hold still for a portrait... I won!

Name: The Fire Bug
Secret Identity: Wally Wicklighter
Age: 33
Skills/Powers:
*A suit of flame resistant armor
*Absolutely no concept of right or wrong
*Lacks compassion
*Criminally insane
Weapons:
The Fire Bug utilizes a high powered flamethrower to completely incinerate his targets.
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.
Relationship to Other Characters:
Allies - The Skull, Barricade...
Enemies - He's fought The Crimson Cloak on more than one occasion as well as his former employer, the ever popular Captain Electron.
Some kind of orange beetle I've never seen before. Seen in Urbana, Illinois at the UIUC Idea Garden.
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.

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.

Poecilometis gravis
Family: Pentatomidae ( stink bugs , shield bugs )
Suborder: Heteroptera
Order: Hemiptera
I have had several observations of this genus locally in the past. Previous observations have all been of Poecilometis strigatus. However this one is a different species P. gravis. This one looks very similar to the previous observations but there are some minor differences: antennae colour, maybe more even punctation on the hemelytra, a more pronounced black dot on the hemelytra. All are consistent with P. gravis. One quite marked difference is the number of antennae segments; P. gravis has 5 segments whereas P. strigatus has only 4. In the case of this species, P. gravis, the second and third antennal segments are the same length.
It is usually assumed that stink bugs can be merely irritating with their unpleasant smelling spray. However the fluid can be hazardous if it gets in the eye and can cause corneal damage; injuries have been reported.
