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.

Gesprengte Brücke über den Bug
Am 22.Juni 1941 überschritt das deutsche Heer den Bug, der damals die Grenze zwischen Deutschland und Russland war.
Damit begann der Krieg gegen Russland, der für Deutschland ein so tragisches Ende nehmen sollte.
Der Bug, auch Westlicher Bug genannt, (ukrainisch und weißrussisch Буг, Західний Буг, Buh) ist ein Fluss in der Ukraine, Polen und Weißrussland. Der Bug entspringt östlich von Lemberg in der westlichen Ukraine (Galizien). Er fließt zunächst nach Westen, wendet sich aber kurz nach Kamjanka-Buska nach Norden. Er passiert die Stadt Brest, wonach er dann in einem Linksbogen immer westlicher läuft und nahe bei Warschau nach einem Lauf von 772 km in den zum Zegrze-Stausee angestauten Narew einfließt, kurz bevor dieser in die Weichsel mündet. Der Bug gehört auf seinem Unterlauf zwischen der Mündung und Brest, wo er Grenzfluss zwischen Polen und Weißrussland ist, zu einem Wasserstraßensystem, das von der Ostsee zum Schwarzen Meer führt.
The Bug River is a major European river which flows through three countries with a total length of 830 kilometres.
If it is, it's a pest, accidentally imported from China or Japan, likely as a stowaway in packing crates, and first documented in the U.S. in 1998.
It is a "true bug," characterized by sucking mouthparts -- with a "beak" called a rostrum. Stinkbugs feed on plants; assassin bugs and ambush bugs feed on insects. This one appeared in my house suddenly -- maybe a stowaway in a pot of tulips from the grocery store, or having simply snuck in to get out of that 9 degree (F) (-12.8 C) chill we had a couple of days ago.
Fortunately I brought home half a dozen bug books from the libraries while researching ambush bugs and bees for an drawing in progress. It took a photograph and several books to get me close, and then the internet to get from one not-quite-right bug to another. Finally a nearly identical photo showed up under one of the false leads, and voila! I think I have it.
Thanks to Dr PhotoMoto I learned that many insects have ocelli -- simple eyes -- along with or instead of compound eyes. This one has two tiny round red ocelli just to the inside of his/her big "bug eyes." Also a pair of mostly invisible wings that overlap at the rear; parts of them show up slightly pinkish in the photo (see it below in the comments section) -- from the light, or a reflection from the red cap in there holding a plant I offered him. He's just under 1.5 cm long.
This bug is the real deal. taken with my little Sony Cyber Shot . It was only cropped and framed
I went out tonight for a few minutes to pick up my son , it was on the outside of the screen
door , luckily it was still there when I got home. A bit outside my comfort zone
I can only imagine what it would look like with my Nikon D5000

This is a column of unidentified bugs flying around in a cluster in a beam of sunlight in the late afternoon. I tried to get a photo of them, but it was tough. First, autofocus doesn't work on these things and manual focus was hard to do with all the motion. Second, the exposure was set for the dark woods behind the bugs and they were overexposed a bit. Third, the motion required a fast shutter, so I had to use maximum aperture, compounding the focus problem. This is #39 of 63 pictures. I never got a picture I really liked before the beam of sunlight faded out.
it was actually the same color orange as mine, but a 71 instead of a 74. i'm not sure why my camera decided it was red. cameras aren't designed for the candy colors of the early 70s automobile!
I went bug 'hunting' with a young lady who aspires to be an entomologist.
These are some of the things we found on our hunt.
Sorry, I cannot ID the bugs as of yet!
I was shooting macros through the Sinar as it suddenly struck me that the peak of evolution, the perfection of nature, the crown of creation just might not be me but a bug in a rose.
Mating bugs.....the wind made it very difficult to make pictures as the flowers were constantly moving. It didn't bother these two lovebugs however...
We went out for a day of hiking and nature shooting in the New Territories in Hong Kong. As it was an overcast day with a lot of haze, we decided to switch to macro. It is amazing how many bugs you can find just in a single path while walking around and actually looking for them...You need a different eye too if you switch from wideangle landscapes to macro..... These orange, red and white creatures caught my eye and only through the lens I saw they were mating......and very much look like colorful cockroaches.... I couldn't let this chance go by and shot some action ;-))
