My good friend Peter EW&F suggested that I improve my bug trap to save the Honey Bees.
I haven't caught any Honey Bees yet mostly flies and ants but I improved it anyway just incase, I can now open the lid and let them out.
See original trap below.
Have a great day!
Jagged Ambush Bug
Macro Monday! Another view of the Jagged Ambush Bug ~ These statuesque bugs wait for a small insect to land on the wild flower. With those devastating claws, sharp beak and effective camo, they are quite the hunters. They are about 8-10mm.

Actually called the Portland Headwater Light, but knows as the Bug Light for its small size. Built in 1875 in Portland Maine.
Another of Emily's session. This time enjoying her lady bug toy. Quite difficult pose but in the end she embraced it. I hope you like the results.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

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.

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!

When I first saw this, I wasn't even sure it was a bug. Then it started to move. The camera can see better than my eyes!
Maybe it's the nymph of a stinkbug? I'm not an entomologist.

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. ;-)
