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/
The beetle restoration continues. Body almost complete, just a little bit of finishing off to do. Pans now on the chassis and cleaning up for paint.
Dan the VW man sent me this shot along with a few others to show me that he already has my engine out of my car in preparation for the new transmission when it arrives...
WOOHOO!!!!
As sad as I am to see my bug humbled like this, it will be well worth it. The car is in good hands...

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.
Novelty bug cupcakes custom made to order for a 3rd birthday party. Featuring snails, caterpillars, dragonflies, ladybirds and bumble bees.
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.
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.
The capsid (mirid) bug Polymerus unifasciatus at the Warburg Reserve, Oxfordshire, England.
There are a myriad of mirids (couldn't resist that!) — about 6,000 known species, I think — but thankfully this one's markings are quite distinctive.

More milkweed bug ATCs, for a face-to-face local swap on the theme "summer." These critters are abundant in my yard in the summer, so it seemed appropriate! The one in the lower left is my favorite. Colored pencil.
