I bought this bug brooch years ago and LOVE him but - A- he's VERY heavy and suitable for a heavy coat or jacket only and B- as I said earlier- I admire jewellry but rarely wear much!

Choosing images for this theme is like choosing your favorite child, grandkid, niece or nephew! Each frame holds a special meaning for one reason or another. It may not be the best technical shot but it is a very special moment of time in your life. When I review my photo archives, I relive the day each photo was taken. Some memories were happy and some were sad, but they are all special.
I love shooting insects, especially dragonflies and damselflies. This one was one of my favorites for 2012. Maybe it is my favorite because of the memory attached. I was able to spend almost a month in Texas with my sister (Suzie_Stitches) this past summer. We spent a lot of time chasing dragon flies at the lake and following the sun set. It was wonderful! This damselfly was shot near Lake Belton.
A small cold hoverfly, spotted this hoverfly on my Euphorbia blossoms looking a bit miserable. Persuaded it to walk on to my finger to warm up a bit

The Wheel Bug Rap
Said (or sung) with a funky beat
Your nose is a hypodermic needle,
Your back has wings to fly,
Your legs have hooks to grasp your prey,
And hold them till they die.
(Chorus)
They call you wheel bug,
Cause your back is a wheel,
It's shape is kinda rough.
You're a real bug!
With wings, six legs,
And lots of other insect stuff.
Your head is shaped like two arrows,
Right On It ... a beak and three eyes,
With two feelers of red, you're a sight to dread!
Mr. Wheel Bug ... you're a scary guy.
(Chorus)
Your beak extends like a switch blade,
It's pointed and hollow and kills!
It's a real poison pen ... but there's more!
It's a straw to drink your meals.
(Chorus)
Wheel bug you're so ... prehistoric,
It's good you're only ... one inch long,
I'm glad you're a bug and I'm not one,
And that's the end of this song.
About the wheel bug: The wheel bug is a predatory insect that is about 1 1/2 inches (32mm) long. Its preferred prey are caterpillars and bees. It has a sharp retractable beak (rostrum) that can inject toxin and digestive enzymes. It then reverses flow and sucks up the insides of its prey. It's not a very fast mover or flyer but then I doubt it has many enemies because its venomous bite is said to be quite painful. It looks like a small dinosaur. They range from Ontario to Florida, west to Kansas and south into Mexico. They are in the same family (reduviidae) as ambush and assassin bugs.
A shiny bug - I've seen these for since I was a kid - Never been able to get a good shot of them though. Was trying out the new Canon 70-200 f/4 L and this guy made an appearance.
I have no ideas what the name of this insect is.

Looks like a bowl of cereal flakes. Poured out shed skins and bugs from a bed bug rearing jar. Many months worth of exuviae. The live bugs also can be seen. In actual infestations bed bugs not only infest beds, furniture, etc., but also will live in piles of shed skins. This is especially true for the very small nymphs.
Gideon's class craft for the school fundraiser: We had the kids make bugs out of recycled materials then we tagged and mounted them.
They gave their bugs names which we translated into Latin and they listed where they "found" them.
Flat rubber molding pulled back to reveal bed bugs hiding. Notice that bugs are at top of molding in corner where there is no adhesive.
It flew like a fly but is looks different close up.
As far as I can see it's a fly.

While photographing a pirate spider on my door this morning (you'll have to wait till October to see him ;-), I noticed this speck wander by, about the size of this period ->. I took a bunch of photos of it, having no idea what it could be.
I almost let out a squeal when I looked at it on my computer monitor - how cute can a bug be?? Look at that big head and those big eyes!
But I had NO idea even what Order it was, so didn't know where to start looking for it on BugGuide. So I just posted it.
Those guys are fast! Within a minute I had a response suggesting it to be in the Genus Baeus, a tiny flightless wasp that parasitizes spider eggs. Well, there are plenty of spiders around my house, so I wouldn't be surprised! But - that tiny cute little thing is a wasp?? Insects will never cease to amaze me!

Other names are Shield-backed bug and Lychee Shield Bug.
He just flew in front of me and sat on a branch when I was descending carefully with my eyes glued to the ground. I took this picture and waited for a while for him to turn around. Then I was lucky to get the other shot. Couldn't get a full front view image, because of the slope. I didn't want to tumble down...bug or no bug....lol...
Beautiful on black too.
