Unusual bug in the garden waste bin: I think it's Aphanus rolandri - hoping for confirmation on iSpot
saw these flowers last night, but didn't have my camera, and couldn't get back out until after dark.
while I was taking macro shots, I suddenly realized these bugs were crawling all over the flowers. Thought they were kind of funky.

OK... So it is Sunday morning and ML comes flying into the bedroom with Rolando. Yeah... she names bugs. Gotta love her! Wanna read more? See my blog at: www.hisfault.com/2006/05/21/meet-rolando/
This guy was bugging for the other side, not willing to pose. Not sure on id, maybe an aphid and responsible for the hole in the foreground. Have a great day and don't let the little stuff bug you.
This bug is tiny and waits for pollinators to come so it can ambush them and have them for lunch. There's something even tinier sitting on the bug. No idea what that is, but it has hairs on it.
Long-necked Seed Bug - Myodocha serripes (8-10 mm)
Found at a lighted window and captured for some studio photos. These things have such an odd form. They look predatory, but are said to just suck on plant juices.
Am loving being able to use a twin-head macro flash again.
Location: Durham, NC (USA)
And this is a real bug, an entomologists bug! It appears to be the Pale Cotton Stainer, Dysdercus sidae. As it is sitting on a leaf of a plant in the Malvaceae which is also a cotton relative perhaps that is appropriate.
This little guy sat outside the house today when we left to go shopping, and still hung out, after we got back. Almost looks like he is smiling for the camera.
A type of Assassin bug with prey on Melalueca quinquenervia tree in a backyard at Lake Macquarie, NSW Australia. Tentatively named as Pristhesancus plagipennis .
This little bug, I had as a wee giftie in my pocket for a very special little man named, "Theodore". My nephew. My late sister's grandson, he is aged 3 years old.
I had lots of fun with little Theo. We called the bug "Larry". I told little Theo that Larry had the hiccups when he was in my pocket while driving over. In fact, Larry sings too. He can dance, if you shake him he has seeds inside his little tummy, he makes gentle swishing sounds!
It made both Theo and I laugh and I provided countless stories with happy little Larry!
Theo gently tucked him away in his pant pocket, "which I called his sleeping pocket". I think Larry was snoring too! At least that is what I told Theo.
When I left, I reminded Theo to make sure Larry sat on his night side table to bid him "Sweet Dreams". I do hope he didn't go through the washing machine.
Gave a workshop this weekend through Newspace Center for Photography, called Spooky Shootout, and spent the day on Saturday at the Bybee House on Sauvie Island.
