Rosina inspired this one with her awesome VW Bug shots. I saw this one parked down the street and couldn't help myself.
Thanks Rosina!
Bugs are good for software engineers at work, but not in the bed room.
My friend who stays with me has got a lotta bugs in his bed. It has not come to my room yet fooooo.
He today found a new technique to kill them, Spray deodorant Voila! its dead.
He killed one and showed me, whats the first thing I said? Hey let me get my camera, I wanna take a shot. Hi hi hi. And I did. Here I am sharing with u all the BUG.
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.
I think this is a Okanagana bella Cicada shell casing. Finally got around to shooting it before it totally fell apart.

Any entomologists want to identify this for me? I've tagged it "grasshopper", but I'm pretty sure it isn't really a grasshopper. It had wings and flew around making clacking noises.

Little Trip To Heaven
Little trip to heaven on the wings of your love
Banana moon is shining in the sky
I feel like I'm in heaven when your with me
I know that I'm in heaven when you smile
Though were stuck here on the ground
I got something that I've found, and it's you
I don't need to take no trip to outer space
All I have to do is look in your face
And before I know it I'm in orbit around you
Thanking my lucky stars that I found you
When I see your constellation, your my inspiration
And it's you
Your my North Star when I'm lost and feeling blue
Your my sun that's breaking through, it's true
And all the other stars seem dim around you
I thank my lucky stars that I found you
When I see your smilin face
I know nothing' gonna take your place
And it's you, and it's you, and it's you,
and it's you, and it's you, and it's you

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.
I was at my computer looking at Flickr pictures when I spied this bug with the distinguished name of Vandenbark. His ancestry can be traced back to 1978. What a smart bug to be able to read and land on just the right part of the page.
