Built for the Battle Bugs Monthly Challenge #2 from December - yeah, I'm a little late. This battle bug goes downhill really fast, and shoots at anything that gets in its way. It is well-protected from the top, but extremely vulnerable from the bottom. So the middle pair of runners is lifted, to prevent rollovers on rough terrain.
Operational mode: unmanned
Armament: 2 pulse cannons
Environment: Fp7 (mountainous arctic)
Field Status: extremely rare
sitting on the couch in the dusk, watching the daily pussy seat giant winged flitty things on the deck and wondering if this is a moment of perfection?
today was my first full day of work since the start (proper) of the summer vacation. the wee guy was out sailing on the inlet; mr ebb was doing his Lycra thing out to fort Langley and back; I had the whole house to myself, and I got so much done.

I made this little fella last night.
He is the cutest :)

He is about 6 cm tall
These are some photos taken with a lumix g7 to test out. Have to admit, VERY impressed for the sensor.
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

*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.

I had just seen the Portland Head Lighthouse in Maine, which was really cool, and I had to hop on a bus and hurry to see this lighthouse before the cruise ship I was on left. I was expecting one like the Portland Head Lighthouse so when I got the Bug Lighthouse I was a little disappointed. It was so small. I guess that's why it's called "bug" lighthouse. Okay, it's still a lighthouse so that made it cool.
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.
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.

Artist's Notes - "It's cozy and warm in there. There is an ant, a big-footed beetle and a red-head beetle. The Bug Car is going fast, but it has real bugs on it and inside it, playing basketball."
Stink Bug Hell by Shane K Smith
Stink Bugs or Pentatomidae are infesting Winston-Salem and Lexington, NC farm area homes. They come every year around Halloween. They are hard to kill with Pesticides. I’ve tried foggers but they barely work. They fly sort of stupidly and crash but hide well under clothes, in clothes on window sills near light. They can swim and dive under water as I have tried to flush them. They come back out of the toilet hole after being flushed! They do the backstroke no joke! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmvojex1v-I
They leave a sweet nasty smell that keeps attracting more. If you catch them with a Kleenex then drop them in a torture device made from a two liter bottle you have your best luck. Wear surgical gloves or a Kleenex so the smell doesn’t get on your fingers. They don’t just fly in the bottle. You have to use the bottle sometimes to physically move them to fall through the hole. Just cut the top off of a 1 or 2 liter bottle then turn it upside down inside of itself. The bugs fall in the hole. I also use vacuum cleaners. What you do with them after that is your own choice. The Hindus will send me to hell for killing these bugs. Maybe I will see the stink bugs there! I have let my share of insects fly or crawl free. But I am not sharing my house with these imports! The traps we bough from the store are empty because they don’t work. Coming soon Stink Bug Hell the movie.
Disclaimer: No bugs were harmed during the photoshoot :)
