Macro shots taken with 50mm f/4 Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon mounted on bellows. I couldnt even begin to give a measurement on how small this insect is. I didn't even notice it until I looked through the camera at the flowers.
Lens borrowed from my good friend Ben.

I told a friend once that...
Sharing your best work all at once will "Burn your Cards" <-- 7elwa?
Well, here I am saving some of the good things for later and submitting a so-so shot of a bug that is bugging my adidas.
Bugs are good for software engineers at work, but not in the bed room.

Ling posing with Bugs Bunny on the beach. Only after the pics were taken did we find out it costs 20RMB. The Chinese tourists seemed to take this approach pretty much in stride though.
A collection of travel bugs that I've accumulated for our camping trip scheduled for next month.
For those of you not in the know, these travel bugs can be tracked by individual code numbers at the www.geocaching.com website.
I'm using this shot as my entry for this week's theme in the HooHah52 weekly challenge of Signs. Whenever I accumulate a large assortment of travel bugs, it's a sign that summer vacation is very close (three more teaching days and I'm done). It's a sign that I'm getting ready to go on an extended camping/geocaching trip. Last year, I don't remember how many travel bugs we moved along, but I do know we found 105 geocaches while camping in and around Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.
I'm hoping for similar numbers this year. Destination is still up in the air, but I think we're going to be staying closer to home, at least in California this year.
Acanthocephala or Leaf footed Bugs are distinctive, nearly inch-long stately insects in the Coreidae family. Leaf footed bugs are named for the leaf-like expansions of the hind tibia and femora. They have four-segmented antennae, large compound eyes and one pair of ocelli, or simple eyes. The Latin name Acanthocephala means “spiny head.”
All species of Coreidae are plant-feeders. Some Coreids live in leaf litter, but most nymphs and adults live above ground on their host plants where they may feed on seeds, fruits, stems or leaves. Many occur on an astonishing variety of plants, while some are restricted to a single host, such as the squash bug, known for its destructive feeding on cucurbitaceae.
These insects have a distinctive proboscis, a “hypodermic-like” beak. “Like all true bugs, the adults are equipped with a beak, or rostrum, a hypodermic needle-like device carried under the head, which it uses to pierce the plant tissue and suck out liquids. They do not simply "suck out sap" they inject a tissue-dissolving saliva and vacuum out the resulting slurry. Bugs cannot ingest solid food, and widespread damage to the plant is a result of these liquefying enzymes.
Bug Light in South Portland ME. This was built by private interests as an aid to navigation inside the harbor for the petroleum docks.
I thought I was photographing a chirping male cricket. I realized there was another cricket (female) when I post processed the images on my laptop! I think the male was playing a courting song and the female was on top of the male. Night find, Selangor, Malaysia.
Info from Nancy Oecanthinancy: The male raises his wings to sing and to expose the metanotal gland. The female sips from the gland to get her in position for the male to transfer a spermatophore. He then keeps the gland exposed so she will continue to sip from it - and thus prevent her from removing the spermatophore too early.

Ew. This bug crawls up out of our bathtub and sink drains, then dies trying to get out. I find them in glasses, dead. They cannot make a steep climb. They are DISGUSTING.
anyone know what these are? They're always on my nightshade plants (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, & potatoes).
