Hello Mr. Bug! I've seen loads of these around. Anyone know what it is?
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!
Out of breeding seaon, Swainson's Hawks subsist almost entirely on bugs. Here one high over Sedgwick Reserve is grabbing and eating bug after bug, on the wing.

Wandering along the hedgerow can find some interesting subjects.

This morning whilst doing a walk around the yards I came across two Crane Flies. That's more than I've seen at one time in such a short time. The big brown one was on the wall of the sun room in the backyard. The Cranefly in the insert was on one of the bushes in the front yard. Poor thing has a little red Mite on it's back that will feed on it.
Chrysomia Rufifacies. I've seen my fair share of their larvae in my time but not such a docile adult fly as this one. Maybe it was because they were too busy preening itself.
No post processing other than a crop. They've got some nice colours to them, that's for sure.

This was very small part of a huge collection of insects( ca.23000 species) which was at La Vanille Reserve des Mascareignes,Mauritius. It was the work of one man,Jacques Siedlecki ,over 30 years.

Notice the spike on its back. Wonder if anyone knows the purpose of it. This guy has an exceptionally long proboscis which its uses for hunting and feeding.

Here is a fully developed ambush bug showing the claws, mantle, eye, and one small oceli above the large eye. The beak is folded underneath the protective face plate. Here is a link to the ambush bug set: www.flickr.com/photos/drphotomoto/sets/72157622047032009/
There have been a lot of awesome Micro scale bugs, and I wanted to do one as well. Micro is not a scale I'm familiar or confident with, so I turned to that old saying - "Build what you know"
I wonder how many folks will think this is just a photo of the old Mantis from the thumbnail and pass it on by. ;) Here is a shot of the two of them together.
