A travel bug is a special item used in geocaching. Each one has a unique number on it that allows it to be tracked as it moves from cache to cache. Many of them are given tasks to do as they travel around the world.
You can learn more about them here.

Steve is a good friend of ours who owns a sugar cane farm right in Cairns. On a visit a month ago I took some photos. Here is a sap sucking bug at work - note the sucking tube into the stem. This was on some plant growing in a small creek/drain that makes its way to the Barron River. I have never seen this particular bug before. Totally new to me. It has back legs a bit like a cricket.
ok, there's some sort of bugs in "my" apt, and they, at some point, attacked me. it's FAR worse than any mosquito bite i ever had in terms of itchiness, and it's just awful. any time i scratch, they get MUCH bigger. any idea what they could be??? how do i make it better, other than lanacaine???
No bug was harmed during the production of this picture. ;o)
... and buggier in large ... if you dare
I got the camera bug in the 1970's and the nature bug much earlier. Following film photography, I started using a Kodak 610 in 2006, a Nikon Coolpix P90 in 2009, and a Canon SX-40 just this winter- all "bridge" cameras. I also use a little Panasonic DMC-ZR3 at night for moth photography.
Some sort of Leaf-footed Bug, most likely Acanthocephala terminalis.
I just noticed that the color on his antennae exactly match the color of the anthers on the flowers.
I was finally able to identify the shrub as Rhododendron periclymenoides - a.k.a. Pink Azalea or "Pinkster".
I was getting ready to make dinner and found this special monster sitting in the corner by the recycling bin. S/he twitched his/her antennae at me a few times, but seemed mostly dead.
I thought maybe it was a dead-ish roach. The weird part is I haven't seen them running around and I keep the place reasonably clean.
Oh, did I mention that the head and abdomen were about an inch long? This was a big bug.
I guess my apartment is the apartment of infestations. A previous tenant told me she got infested with slugs when she lived in my apartment. I had a few fairly major ant invasions already in the last 4 months.
Apparantly this is a "potato bug" (or Jerusalem cricket) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_cricket . I thought potato bugs were the tiny roly-poly things that live under logs and rocks (maybe like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlouse , but the ones I've seen were more dark and they sorta curl up into little balls).
In Cozumel, as in other parts of Mexico, you see a lot of VW Bugs. They were still being made in Mexico long after production stopped in Germany.
