During the Summer, Selfridges store in Oxford Street had food themed window displays. Bugs Diner refers to Daniella Martin who writes a blog called Girl Meets Bug - which is about eating bugs.
Front-on view of an Assassin Bug was moving around the garden looking for its next meal.
These are horrible looking but curious insects. In the centre of the picture you can see the mouth-parts (or Rostrum) which tucks back under the main body. The Assassin bug has long legs to assist with its ambush attack.
I'm guessing this is either a Common or a Bee Killer Assassin Bug (Pristhesancus plagipennis), which hides on plants waiting for insect to land nearby where it will ambush.

One of the ONLY times I got my husband to dress up. LOL. :)
This is a last instar nymph.

I noticed a few of these little pill bugs moving about amongst the mushrooms I was photographing. Pill bugs are not a bug at all but are actually in the family Crustacea and are more closely related to shrimp and Crayfish than bugs. Early Oct 2013

This colony of bugs had encamped on this thistle type plant. The bugs are about 5 mm long and look like beetles. The most likely had just hatched here.
Check out the larger size picture.
Destroying the bitmap, deconstructing the pixel.
If you would follow Stallio, who has written a great and way more elaborate tutorial on this kind of image bending, then this effect would have to be called the TextEdit Effect (because my method followed the rules of his Wordpad effect). But apart from that TextEdit Effect doesnt really sound nice, (or does it?) I think this kind of naming of an effect/bend may not be sufficient, because the effect is not (just) dependent on the sotware but also (maybe more importantly) on specific changes in the code. Although it is a more general name, I think 'image bending' might work better.
How its done: open a BMP file in TextEdit, move some code from here to there and then save it.

A Dock Bug (Zuringwants / Coreus marginatus) on my rubarb.
Coreus marginatus, commonly called the dock bug, is a species of squash bug. It is a speckled brown insect with a broad abdomen, and is common in most parts of Europe. It is often found in dense vegetation, such as hedgerows and wasteland, where it mainly feeds on the leaves and seeds of docks and sorrels. When touched, a brown liquid is excreted that smells very bad and is very difficult to remove.
De zuringwants leeft in grote delen van Europa en is in de meeste streken niet zeldzaam. De habitat bestaat uit zonnige plaatsen want dit dier houdt van zonnen zodat ze sneller worden. Deze soort leeft in zowel bosranden en vochtige hooilanden als grasland met hier en daar dichtere begroeiing, maar ook in stadsparken en wegbermen wordt de zuringwants aangetroffen, meestal in de buurt van water. Bij verstoring wordt snel gereageerd op de trillingen en laat het dier zich vallen of vliegt weg. In bladstrooisel is het zeer goed gecamoufleerd. De zuringwants is een goede vlieger die 'vanuit stand' kan vliegen en niet eerst ergens op hoeft te klimmen. Bij aanraking wordt een bruine vloeistof afgescheiden die erg stinkt en moeilijk is te verwijderen.
Milkweed bugs (Lygaeus kalmii), sitting on milkweed. The bright orange is an advertisement that they are poisonous, and not to eat them (they apparently keep poison from the milkweed in their system to deter birds...)
Couple seen today at a new site for them in Jersey.
About 3mm long on damp mud on edge of deciduous woodland

Handle of my SOG Sealpup Elite. The bug was never intended to be in the shot. It landed on the handle so I decided to take a closer shot.
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.

A classic red Volkswagen bug sits in the driveway of my neighbor's house. It looks very well maintained. It stands out among the usual white, silver, and black colors of most of the other cars these days. My two best friends in high school both had classic VW bugs -- one was black and the other chartreuse (bright yellow/green).
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.
Thanks to Donald Quintana for the i.d. - Harlequin Bug

Harlequin Bug Nymph (The round one).
Harlequin Bug Adult (The flat one).
*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.
