ODC. Obsessive. Every bloom in the garden has some type of bug on it. Sometimes it takes a minute to find it - but it is there. See below. Can you find it?
I was sitting outside the restrooms in Bug's Land waiting for my girls to get out. I looked up at the tower and this is what I saw. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.
Here I am,bug bear, on holiday in Spain and sneaking in to the picnic hamper — in Andalucia, Spain.
This is a bug jar quilt that was popular several years ago. I started one with denim around the jars and sadly have never finished it. My daughter actually began referring to it as that quilt that will never be finished. Getting seams to come together using denim is a pain.

This is our all time great birthday party, my sons 7th. The theme was bugs. The party included bug mask making, bug cake, wall bugs, and best of all, bug blood drinks!
Hundreds of these little bugs used to gather on and under one particular type of tree at the campsite. Fascinating to watch.
MUST view LARGE.
Spotted this tiny bug while grilling. He was checking out the cockscomb by the porch, or maybe he wanted some grilled chicken. Nonetheless, he posed nicely for me. Not a clue what he is.
For ID please group: location in Atlanta area. Bug about an inch long, appeared cylindrical, seemed to simply jump from on part of the plant to another. I am afraid I missed him leaving but I assume he flies. Thank you for ID, speech path girl.
Steve @ Bug Lake (June 27)
This trip was doomed from the start. Pouring rain, and no intel regarding how far we’d get in a 2WD. Despite those warning signs Eric and Kim joined me for a trek into the unknown, to a place with a foreboding name.
The drive most of the way was wet, and muddy but mostly without incident save for a few logging trucks. However, about 4km from the trailhead we hit a rock obstacle and worked our way over, only to hit trees making further driving impossible. We got out and hoofed it.
The trailhead was almost impossible to find,.. but once we did and got past the first 200m, it became a decent trail, though steep and muddy,... and buggy. We climbed and climbed through what looked like moss and old growth and for some reason Kim got most of the bugs. We never did reach the lake due to the extra 4km each way and impact to our turn around time, we made it about 60% of the way up the actual trail. I’ve rarely been so soaked through my boots.
The unfortunate kicker is that this is one of my goal hikes to complete the 103 hikes book,... so I have to go back,.. when I do I’ll probably aim for better weather and bring a mountain bike.
Assasin bug (Reduviidae), photographed at Chadron State Park, about 9 miles south of Chadron Nebraska on August 28, 2016.
One of the many impressive coreidae bugs that I have seen in this part of the world.
At present I have no exact ID>
Sharon (@sharritta) at 365Project.org challenge me this week to do a forced perspective shot.
I decided to combine that with a field trip to Victoria's Bug Zoo that I went on with an old friend.
I'm spending this week developing my professional web site (finally!), so I'm going to infill with some of the really groovy bug shots that I got on the weekend with my old friend LP.
This lady tarantula was quite tame. I even held her, which surprised me, as I'm quite terrified of spiders. Our guide put me at ease.
The Bug Zoo doesn't allow tripods, so lighting was definitely a challenge. I lost about 1/3 of my shots to camera shake and insufficient exposure. My macro lens opens up to f/2.8, but there's a lot going inside that lens that reduces its light output, so it's not a particulary fast f/2.8.
My VR macro lens has a 12" minimum focusing distance (close enough for me, thank you), which renders a wonderful 1:1 close up. However, as with any lens when you get this close, your DOF declines exponentially. Even at f/29, there's very little depth of field, and I couldn't get anywhere close to that, as it either forced an exposure too long to hand hold, or reduced my light to nothing when using the on-camera flash. I couldn't push it much past f/8.
Pushing the ISO to between 1600 and 2000 helped to shorten the shutter speed, but introduced a LOT of noise into the shot. Lightroom helped to mitigate that, but the adjustment brush liked to pick up the noise when Auto Masking while selecting each bug, making selection much more tedious.
I think next time I go, I'm going to rent a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. That should give me additional working distance, and provide me a greater depth of field at the same framing. I've shot with it before, and it's a *very* fast lens.
Very freaky viewed large.
Taken handheld with my Nikon D600 for 1/60th of a second at f/9, ISO 1600 with my Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR macro lens, using on-camera flash.
The whole set of high-resolution images from the Bug Zoo is avavilable on my Flickr site:
I don't know what this is but it looks pretty darn creepy to me. Is it a shell or a corpse? Some kind of Grasshopper?
;Crunchy Bug ; is what we call them,because they're so hard to kill.Even when you step on them it takes a few stomps to make sure its dead and you can't just swat it with a fly swatter.

bestnya aku outing dengan sirmart jumpa pulak binatang ni baru pertama kali pulak tu tengok menatang ni ish ish hebatnya ciptaan ilahi
Bought an old 1979 Olympus camera off ebay and had a little experiment with 35mm b/w film. Wasn't even sure the camera worked.. chuffed with the results!
