I'm spending this week developing my professional web site (finally!), so I'm going to infill with some of the really groovy bug shots that I got on the weekend with my old friend LP.
I caught the photo of this beetle at Victoria's Bug Zoo on Jan 5th. They don't allow tripods, so I had to work hard to capture this shot handheld. Moving bugs, flare off glass enclosures, depth of field, and camera shake were my biggest challenges.
Very groovy viewed large.
Taken handheld with my Nikon D600 for 1/60th of a second at f/3.3, ISO 2000 with my Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR macro lens, using on-camera flash.

Michael kept telling me to take the costume off because she was probably hot! I just love this outfit!
Not sure what this is. Maybe a fast flying bug. Taken in back yard - you can see the trees in the background. About 1/2-second exposure. I didn't see anything during shooting. The regular pattern in equally spaced waves may be insect wings flapping. Any ideas?
This bug was in the middle of a sidewalk in a park! Yet it's a water bug- no water anywhere nearby. I looked it up on the internets and it's a Lethocerus maximus. And it can fly. Here's a video of it flying. BTW it was 3-4 inches long. I should have put my finger next to it in the pic so you could see the scale. Oh well, it's got maximus in its name, isn't that enough?
Finally outside the height of spring! So I thought I'm gonna show my bugs brooches that I made 2 years ago :) They're handmade painted.

Today marks two years that Aric and I have been married. He got me a small piece of art that could best be described as the Coolest Damn Thing Ever, I swear. Via Mike Libby at the Insect Lab. HOW COOL IS THIS???
Even Spain the Cat is impressed.

Our friends son, Bug, was very excited to see this monster turtle while we were on Bequia last year.
The flower doesn't seem to be in the best shape. It appears to be partially eaten by bugs but it's still blooming. There is a bug in the center if you look closely. I think this is a dogwood flower.
hideous millipede appeared on shower curtain, actually ran over my stocking-enclosed foot! Tried to rinse it down drain but tub didn't drain fast enough. It sat unmoving; I thought it was drowned but, unsure, put kleenex around toilet brush and picked it up that way - it still lived! put it in toilet, added toilet-bowl cleaner, flushed it down.

This bug seems pretty streamlined but it was really slow. Kind of like building a porsche and giving it a go-kart engine.
Anybody know what it might be? This was one of the first pics I took after adding a third extension tube, so it's just a tad iffy.
I saw an early instar on a yew tree in the same area earlier in the year but this one was on hawthorn.
