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.

My friend Pete dropped lucky when a couple of bees posed nicely for him the other day.
I had a similar stroke of luck yesterday when I found this cicada perched on my swim shorts. It even stayed there whilst I collected my camera and didn’t move when I turned the shorts round to get a better angle. I should point out that I was not actually wearing the shorts at the time!
Looking at the body patterns you can see where the inspiration for some of those costumes at the weekend came from. As for the wings, aren’t they just incredible?

Title - "Bug Car"
Artist - Harry Fladd
Date - 25 August, 2009
Medium - Marker on Note Paper
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."
a "friggen bug" series, maybe it's paranoia however I think their talking about me. (actually there are three bugs, an ant is sticking its head out between the two).
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.

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.
When the Crosley was laid to rest in 1952 it did not stay buried. A california company headed by W.B. Crofton, a well established GMC and Detroit Diesel Dealer, acquired the rights to the amazing little Crosley engine and manufactured it for sale as a small stationary engine. In additon, Crofton produced a utility fehicle called teh BUG. Desinged by Robert W. Jones, it was a slightly changed version of the Crosley Farm-O-Road, a midget size jeep vehicle. A Crofton truck model was called a TUG.
This is Vehicle ID # 928, a 1960 version restored by my father between 1996 and 2005.
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 :)

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.
