Jagged Ambush Bug ~ Genus Phymata
The Jagged Ambush Bugs are insects I see quite often. 99% of the time they are set up on a wildflower and waiting for some poor soul to land on it - then they strike. They have strong grips on their front to hold an insect inplace when it land, and those other sets of legs anchor it to flower while their venomous beak does the rest.
This beautiful female Blue Dasher sure did give this sick old lady a wonderful opportunity for lots of photos. I really enjoyed her. Hot summer here and I still can't get out anywhere. Thank You, Jesus, for beautiful bugs in God's garden!
I'm pretty much a novice at anything other than geometric patterning. I was experimenting with shapes, and they looked like a bug. I looked at Swooshable for help with 180 degree snot-work, and they had a thing with finger hinges that worked decently. It's a bit fragile, but it's all stuck together -- a minor victory. Anyway, I learned something new while making it, so that's good. Now I only have about 15.3 trillion more new things to learn about LEGO. ;-)
CC Week 19 - It's the Little Things
While taking flower photos at sunset I noticed that as it got later, more and more insects started to appear. Crane flies live only briefly in their adult phase, and are much more destructive in their larval stage when they can damage lawns and other plants. Adult crane flies do not eat very often. When they do, it might be sipping on nectar, as this one was attempting to do. Since they live most successfully in areas where there is plenty of water, it makes sense that they would do well in a wetter than usual year like this one.
