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.
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.
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.

This Wheel Bug seemed like it had passed on.....I was cautious since I know they can deliver a painful bite. It moved a little but I think winter had brought its life to an end.

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.

We get lots of these bugs on our Acacia fimbriata when it's in flower. Their markings remind me of Art Deco designs.
Sitting outside, I noticed this bug on the open conservatory door and his pronounced shadow in the bright sunlight.

The Bug Smashers are used to eliminate any threats caused by the planets dangerous flora and were made to protect resource extraction machinery and workers like the Drill Walker. Thers 4 types of soldiers. The basic Soldier(silver helmet), The Machine Operator (white helmet) which operate exo suits and other vehicles, Jetpacker (turquoise helmet) which can fly and the Commander (gold helmet) which commands and leads squadrons. For drones and machinery there is the basic auto targeting turret, The cargo carrying dog and the airborne drone. For vehicles there is the Exo suit that the Machine Operator is controlling. The Exo-suit and Dog were not originally made to be used against the bugs and were originally used to transport and help move cargo at the planets various facility's. The Exo-suit was upgraded to withstand its quad-canons recoil and to withstand the fall it endures when being dropped from a dropship. The Exo-suit can hold onto more cargo and guns on its back thanks to the various bar attachments. Usually the suit is equipped with a quad canon and a backup shotgun to deal with the bug threat. The Bug Smashers were inspired by the game helldivers and their bug like enemy's.
A few more close-up shots of insects.
There are two bugs in this shot. I can't identify either of them.

This took only a half hour to edit and I'm actually quite proud of it. I've had this idea sitting in the back of my noggin for a while and Imm really happy I got to finally shoot it.
This photo to me feels like the mystery girl portrayed in the photo is similar to a fly and she's gotten to close to the light. She's being stuck in this continuous period of zapping and there's no way to come loose of it. But the light and the door however represent that there is a chance to live even though she's very close to death, hence the black dress.
I can't wait to post my newest series of windows photos, I hope you'll like them.
