nice sunday morning in the life of a Little bug

Sally and I enjoyed watching a Trash Bug in our garden last year. The 2020 one isn't quite as colorful (see comments section). I went inside to look for a bit of glitter (to see if he would pile it on), but he disappeared and then it rained.

Bugs never bug my head

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.

Spotted by David (dsmphoto) on a recent photo outing, this guy has us completely stumped. I.D. anyone? Lacey? Bueller? (Aw, c'mon, view large, you know you really want to!)

We have several winners of the "i.d. this alien monster bug" contest -- thanks all for identifying this as a Wheel Bug, a darling little creature from the Assassin bug family. Yikes!

You have to look closely to actually see it's head.

I think this is one of those tongue twisters you have to say three times.

Bug's Life

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.....

And there are another bugs making love on front but not focused :}
