The genes are the master programmers, and they are programming for their lives. They are judged according to the success of their programs in copying with all the hazards that life throws at their survival machines, and the judge is the ruthless judge of the court of survival - Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene.
Two "survival machines" - shield-bugs in this instance - helping their genes propagate through the gene-pool...
early in the morning bugs don´t move fast
so it is easy to position your lights and the camera.
Sometimes you can even use a tripod.

From the little sign in the window:
A few years back. one of the largest companies in
the world (Pepsi-Cola inc.) set forth the arduous,
task of designing the ultimate mobile promotion,
Concept- the "MUG BUG".
A few automotive shops were commissioned to rebuild
Restore the ubiquitous, original Volkswagen Beetle with a complete “makeover”.
I. Pan restoration

3. New interiors
4. New Chrome (including bumpers, headlight rims, etc.)
5. Added chrome rims
6. New tires
7. A complete tune-up
Best of all, they started with a low mileage beetle
I was told there were only 20 of these Mug Bugs.
completed for this special promotion. After their
promotion, Pepsi partnered with various
radio stations across the U.S. in a radio sweepstakes giveaway contest.
Included with the purchase of this classic car, you
will also receive official documentation of the
sweepstakes. This will add value to this collector
car.
The seller went on to claim that the car was in "strong #2" condition, collectably speaking.
Given that the big bubbles of rust beneath the driver's side rear window and vent were located in an area that would be no fun to repair, and necessitate a repaint, I'd say that it certainly was in #2 condition.
You know... #2.
(I said "#2".)

If anyone could help me id this it would be great:)
Ok so this seems to be a Pirate bug, it preys on aphids and other smaller bugs.(i think). Any more info will be welcome:)
Bed bugs will crawl along hairs and crawl down to skin surface to feed. Hours after bed bug feeding, red marks appear at site of each bite. Welts had preceded the red marks but first disappear. Red marks severity lessens with age and in a week are gone. Microscopic brownish areas remain but are very difficult to clearly see.
I didn't even see the bugs when I took the picture but once I put them on the computer it was the first thing I noticed.
Don't really do bugs or Macro but couldn't resist this little chap. He decided to get in the boot of the car while I was cleaning it.. he would have been splodged but I carefully removed him to a plant following his photoshoot, always grateful for a subject!
Briolette Bug - 4-5 November, 2009
I was looking at this orange tourmaline briolette in my collection, trying to think of what to make with it, and decided on a bug. I thought it would look perfect as the abdomen peeking through lacy wire wings. Here's the result. :D
I just like the detail of these bugs, there wings are so fine, but must be very strong, the patterns and colours blend so well together. "I must be loosing it now" Better viewed large
Bed bug adults, nymphs, shed skins, eggs, feces. Largest adults are about 4-5mm or 1/4 inch long. L.Sorkin
Thanks for helping me with its name :)
The 14-spot Ladybird is a small lady beetle, native and widespread in the Old World, and invasive in North America. It is sometimes referred to by the common name 14-spotted ladybird beetle, or simply P-14. The background color ranges from cream through yellow to light orange, but not red. Only rarely are 14 separate spots present on the elytra; most commonly, several of the spots fuse into larger markings, particularly along the midline, where they often create a shape resembling an anchor, sometimes fusing to such an extent as to render the body almost entirely black except for 12 pale spots.
Latin name: Propylea quatuordecimpunctata
Polish name: Wrzeciążka
