Showing some anxiety about approaching Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck for a photo at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio
Bugs made with found objects including: scrap metal springs, keys, auto sparkplug, wire; also glass and ceramic beads. Crawling on mesquite root.
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 ;-))
Like a death-trap in the Russian Sage, this assassin bug captures the native bee and slowly sucks the life out of it after injecting it with a paralyzing saliva.
Leaf Footed bugs are sap suckers. This one is enjoying the sap of the thistle. They have a piercing straw like mouth part that folds back under the body.
I actually cheated on this photo and combined one shot of the bug with a shot of the right hind leg so I could get more into focus.
I have a theory that the leaf appendages my serve as fins when the bug is flying. It also looks like a leaf and offers camouflage.

Assassin Bugs: The Wheel Bug
Adults are 1-1/4 inch long and have a slender, long antennae (reddish-brown). The body is grayish-black with an upright one-half "cogwheel-like" crest on the thorax bearing 8 to 12 protruding teeth-like structures. The membrane of the front wing is coppery colored. Wheel bugs are rather uncommon, but attract attention when found due to their bizarre appearance. They are voracious predators, attacking large caterpillars, such as tomato hornworms, and suck them dry. They will not bite humans readily, but when they do, the bite is very painful.
Bites may be hardly felt by the bloodsucking conenose in contrast to painful bites by the masked hunter, black corsair, and wheel bug. Sensitive individuals may experience burning pain, intense itching and much swelling with red blotches and welts over the body. If bitten, remain calm and safely collect the bug for positive identification. Do not handle bugs without gloves. Contact your local poison information center to seek medical help. Relief from bites may be obtained by using lotions containing menthol, phenol or camphor.
One of five ambush bugs I found today by carefully examining the goldenrod. This one is immature and has only rudimentary wing buds. The raptorial claws are fully functional. The next upload is my first video upload and it is the third ambush bugs pictured below.
I don't know what kind of bug this is, but they hover in groups of 5-6, about 6-12 inches apart. They don't make any discernable sound, nor do they seem to harm humans.
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.
Looks fun! Powered by an engine that looks like a four cylinder BMW engine simular to the K100 or K75 's.
This hand painted Bug was spotted in a field in Wheelersburg, Ohio. This image has won an award for 1st place for Best of Color.
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.

My girlfriend and I drove around the coast of Maine for a little while. During our little excursion I was able to take a few photos.
