newborn bugs eating their eggshell.

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. ;-)

Bugs never bug my head

I think this is a nymph of the white-margined burrowing bug, Sehirus cinctus. It was nestled in among the leaves, though, so I couldn't get a good look...

It's not easy to see, but there are four bugs gathered on the petals of this flower; I imagine they were discussing politics, or where to go to lunch. Maybe they were just gossiping about Sally in accounting. They wouldn't let me in on the conversation, so I really couldn't say with much authority and am completely speculating.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

A bugs life

I do not know what it is but I call it a Green Bug. It took me ages to think of that.

The bull is up unable to stand the constant biting and buzzing of the bugs any longer. He soon rolled in his dusty wallow again to help fend them off. But this only does so for a short time. Danged bugs.....

Didn't see much life in a hot midday hike at Charro Ranch Park, just south of Dripping Springs TX. The only flowers were "snow on the mountain", pretty white flowers with kind of a bad reputation. One of them was hosting this bug...

Top Row, Left to Right: Pale Treehopper (Entylia carinata), Leaf Hopper, nymph (spp.) and Aphid (sp.), Meadow Spittle Bug, nymph (Philaenus spumarius).

Middle Row, Left to Right: Twice Stabbed Stink Bug (Cosmopepla lintneriana), Jagged Ambush Bugs (Phymata sp.), Large Milkweed Beetle, nymphs (Oncopeltus fasciatus).

Bottom Row, Left to Right: Assassin Bug (Sirthenia carinata), Assassin Bug (spp.), Ants (spp.) with Oleander aphids (Aphis nerii).

Bug's Life

A little green bug on a stem of grass.

I have lived in Texas for forty years. I never saw an insect of this description. Let me know if you think you can identify the species.

Something a little different.. This was made with a new Action from PanosFX.. He does very nice Actions and at a reasonable price too...
