I thought it was just a twig that my dog had tracked in from the creek, but when I went to brush it off the sheet it started squirming. I looked all over the internet to find out what it is, but had no luck. WHAT IS IT???
In this crop from Bugs life 3 you can see its mouth used presumably for chomping at leaves on the insects she catches.

The name comes from the spiny wheel-shaped crest on their backs. It's a variety of assassin bug. Assassin bugs eat by stabbing their prey with a sharp mouthpiece on the front and injecting digestive fluids that dissolve the unlucky meal. I understand they have a nasty bite, so I wouldn't pester them too much. This one was too chilled and slow to care much about me. More info.

I think this bug is the one from the car lot across the street off on a test drive. It "came out of nowhere" and the one at the lot is gone. So I think "Nowhere" might be the car lot.
I am not sure about the name of the fly. It’s a common one. But in this I find it interesting an ant in its leg. It was already dead when I took this picture. I am not sure that the bug killed the ant. But the jaws of the ant were tightened on to the leg of the bug.

I am not a bug 'snapper' but when I saw this one on my parsley plant I just could not resist getting the camera out. Never seen one before. Does anyone know what is it?

(Boisea trivittata) The boxelder bug is named for its primary host plant, the boxelder tree (Acer negundo). This insect feeds on seeds of the boxelder tree, as well as its relatives in the Maple family.

My first attempt at macro bugging, I was lucky to find this guy who stayed perfectly still for an hour while I struggled to position the tripod, get the perfect vantage point and get him in focus. Finding photo-willing insects is a challenge. I haven't found any since that are as obliging. Sigh....it's back to flowers for the moment. At least they stay in one place.
