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
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!
Multicoloured shiny bug. Think it is a leaf bug but as to which one no idea!

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.

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.
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!

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.
Edit: it's a Tessaratomidae rather than a Pentatomidae).

Info by Doug Yanega: One of several families easily mistaken for them. Flip one over and you'll see six fully-exposed spiracles, while pentatomoids have 5 - that's the easiest character.
