Three men inspecting a vintage Volkswagen beetle painted as Herbie the Love Bug at a car show in Essex, Massachusetts. The image was captured on black and white analog film.
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.

These are my "budget bugs", the yellow one is a Frog re-release, the blue one is a Grasshopper. Both with Parma lexan bodies and Tamiya paint. The tires and wheels on the yellow bug are original Proline from 1985, left-overs from my original Hornet. The frog also has a Tamiya sport-tuned motor. The Grasshopper is stock, except for Hornet rear shocks.
2 bugs preparing for the next generation, I don't know if this was before during or after, but it was very still anyway.....long enough for me to catch them at it!
This is alyssum, already a tiny flower, but this bug was even smaller. I didn't know he was there till I saw him through the view finder.
Andringitra National Park, Madagascar
No idea what it is, but it's got many legs and it creeps. Yuck !!
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
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
I made this little fella last night.
He is the cutest :)
The popular yard bugs are eating all your flowers and cuddles in your grass :)
Made Of Polymer Clay, Fimo Soft.
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.
Don't let me bug you! All kidding aside, isn't this bug totally cool to look at... once you get over the whole gross, bug in the hair feeling you get when looking at it .

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