This is an Acanthocephala declivis, a leaffooted "giant spined" bug which lives on prickly pear cactus.
Loosely inspired by the Bug Catcher class from Pokemon games cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/55/Red_Blue_Bug_Catcher.png
Here you can see the eggs & babies that have just hatched. These things multiple like you wouldn't believe. The only way to really get rid of them is to take them off by hand and kill them. What a pain!
Michael kept telling me to take the costume off because she was probably hot! I just love this outfit!

Not sure what this is. Maybe a fast flying bug. Taken in back yard - you can see the trees in the background. About 1/2-second exposure. I didn't see anything during shooting. The regular pattern in equally spaced waves may be insect wings flapping. Any ideas?
Oncopeltus fasciatus in various stages of life. They are feeding off a couple milkweed seed pods that look conspicuously like a lobster claw.
This bug was in the middle of a sidewalk in a park! Yet it's a water bug- no water anywhere nearby. I looked it up on the internets and it's a Lethocerus maximus. And it can fly. Here's a video of it flying. BTW it was 3-4 inches long. I should have put my finger next to it in the pic so you could see the scale. Oh well, it's got maximus in its name, isn't that enough?
Finally outside the height of spring! So I thought I'm gonna show my bugs brooches that I made 2 years ago :) They're handmade painted.

Today marks two years that Aric and I have been married. He got me a small piece of art that could best be described as the Coolest Damn Thing Ever, I swear. Via Mike Libby at the Insect Lab. HOW COOL IS THIS???
Even Spain the Cat is impressed.
Okay, this is sort of skeevy, but I didn't know what the heck this bug was loaded with until I got the picture uploaded. It looked like dirt.
Don't know what this flying bug is. It flew off too fast for me to take another shot.

Shield bug.
He was a fine subject, sat still for quite awhile. Don't you love when that happens?
