Sitting outside, I noticed this bug on the open conservatory door and his pronounced shadow in the bright sunlight.

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.
It rains bugs when you drive through North Dakota on a summer night. The carnage on my license plate was the result of a three-hour drive from Fargo to Cando. My windshield became so covered with dead bugs that it was difficult to see and the car windshield washer did little good.
Bug jest dopływem Narwi. Dopływ – rzeka lub mniejszy ciek, który nie uchodzi bezpośrednio do zbiornika wodnego (morza, jeziora), ale do innego cieku. W zależności od tego, z której strony brzegu rzeki (patrząc od źródła) dopływ łączy się z nią, wyróżnia się dopływy lewe i prawe (Wikipedia). Bug wpływa do Narwi na wysokości Serocka.

Artist's Notes - "There are smiley faces and lots and lots of flowers. There is a really big ant! The little ones are just Army Beetles. I drew this because I wanted Mommy to have it on Mother's Day. I think this is a good picture."
This is a little bug I found while crashing through the forrest looking for a backdrop shot for a project I am working on, by this point I had driven 150 miles, crawled through about 2 miles of forrest over grown with vines and weeds and spiders and snakes and all kinds of other schtuff.
But, the little bug here cheered me up.
Go bug man!
I even made up a song for him that I sung while crawling through the jungle.
Ha! But I ain't gonna sing it for you cause then I would feel silly.
Great little bug guy :)
Leaf-footed Bug (Acanthocephala terminalis) - Loantaka Brook Reservation, Morris County Park Commission,
Morristown, New Jersey
At first I thought this guy was a large stink bug, but it's long rear legs with the flat looking fibia (analigus to the calf on us humans) made me think it was more likely the stink bugs close relative the leaf-footed bug.
On my latest Sunday stroll to Pennington Flash I was (perhaps sadly) delighted to find a ladybird, bee and a shield bug! Oh how you spoil me.
Yes, in a few months I'll probably be bored stiff of these as macro subjects but for someone who has been starved of "wild" macro action for months even the most common insects are a joy to behold.
Unfortuantely they didn't stick around and pose for long as I shoved by camera lens in their personal space, so I was also reminded of the more frustrating aspects of macro photography.
The ambush bug is small and likes to hide in yellow flowers like goldenrod. I found two today by carefully searching each goldenrod plant I passed. I find they can easily be mistaken for a wilted bloom. Note the protective mantle on the top of the head. There is a groove in the mantle into which the antenna can be folded for protection. Also note the sharp pincer like claw which is used to hold prey. Hooks on the other legs serve to hold the bug in place so it is not pulled around by prey. Like all assassin bugs, the assassin bug has a folded beak hidden under his face plate that extends to puncture, poison, digest and ingest prey. It is an all purpose tool.
