The big bugs soaring in the stairwell were created when the Museum was located in the Pitcher-Goff House in Pawtucket, RI by RISD alum and faculty member Melissa Ferreira. The insects were part of a rotating “Changing Skies” display and were on view in the summer. Ferreira also made the colorful flying butterflies and the carved wooden animals in the Littlewoods exhibit.

This Beetle may or may not have been entered in the Terryville show for judging. It probably was. But what's significant is that it actually has a trailer hitched to it. You'd think a VE would be too much of a weakling to carry a trailer, even a small one. But there it is, a highway caboose on the back of this coincidentally red Bug. :-)
This Beetle, in addition to having chrome fender flares and headlight eyelids, also has large, bulky taillights and the VW logo on the trunk lid. That would identify it as a '73 or '74 Beetle.
The 1971 Beetle had a 1.6-liter engine rated at 60 horsepower. That engine, which remained the standard powerplant for the Beetle in America to the end, would have its horsepower rating downgraded to 46 the following year (1972) by Society of American Engineers (SAE) standards, and subsequent Bugs would retain that rating. 46, 60 . . . that seems good enough for a Beetle to carry a trailer like this.
The flat bug was very interested in the round bug even though it seems to be of another species. I found dozens of these shiny, colorfully marked bugs on my day lily...all of them with love on their minds.

*In response to CatchLightDons comment, I have another three-shot series showing the nymph continuing to skedaddle over the edge and down the blade with the adult in hot pursuit.
*As another side comment, Donald Q came to my house with his little daughter to catch a coupe of these bugs for his own yard.
My kid with a big green bug of some kind on her finger. (This picture was taken around October of last year.) She had been staring at one spot on the lawn for a while, so I went over to look and there on the ground was a huge, light green bug with wings. My kid was pointing and saying 'ooh' and suddenly this thing crawled right up on her finger and she didn't even flinch. She just raised her hand up and pointed at the sky. I barely had time to get the picture taken before the thing walked to the end of her finger and then just took off. It was the darnedest thing. (Funny thing is my kid seems to hate bugs, now. What a difference a season makes.)
(From 2005- not '97. Never learned how to change my settings on that camera.)
Nice to seen the owner is taking care of his beloved classic car.
This is an example of one of the last Beetle types which were manufactured.

Plant bug having a drink. Saw this fly off my coat when I had come inside after a walk. Trapped it and gave it a drop of sugar/honey syrup to feed on

This wheel bug is fully developed and waiting to capture some prey. Note the beak folded underneath the head. The wheel on back may be some type of protective mantle.
Found this guy on Halloween night on the garage wall . I had no clue what he was , after about an hour of searching the internet I found him . I also found out that if I was bitten by this it would have felt 10 times as bad as a hornet sting .
Taken by using the Canon 18-55 IS in & retro (without Retro Adapter!). 200 shots and this one survived!
This is the wheel bug, (Arilus cristatus), in the family Reduviidae. This bug is about 1 inch long. It moves slowly but finally flew away after I took about 25 photographs. He kept his eyes on me the whole time. Thanks to Terry I hope you dance for the correct ID. I had mistakenly called it an assassin bug. They mostly eat pests (Japanese beetles for example!), but do eat some beneficial bugs. This fellow is one of the largest true bugs. See next photo to see the characteristic crossed wings of the true bugs.
