This is a geocaching travel bug called Bugs and Daisies. It is owned by CindyWoods. It was released in Fredericksburg, Texas, USA on 25th May 2015 and is in a race to get home before two other travel bugs.

Jae and I found it in a geocache in the Wellington Botanic Gardens on Tulip Sunday, 27th September 2015. Our friend Karen was with us and, as she has expressed an interest in geocaching when we have talked about it before we took her with us. She found this one easily and was very excited, especially when she saw this cute little bug.

You can see the back of it here.

A beneficial bug that attacks pest bugs (like stink bugs/squash bugs) by piercing its prey's body and sucking out its fluids and guts. Mmm, hydration and protein!

Bug orgy bush. Stopped to check out where the sweet perfume on the wind was coming from and found it coming from this bush. Then I noticed that it was covered with bugs. Then I noticed that all of the bugs were getting down... guess the scent is like and aphrodisiac to them.

the automatic focus stack on my E-M1 mark 1 works pretty stunningly well

this poor bug is trapped in the pitcher plant's nectar and is being digested.

Thought I'd experiment a little with the close-up setting on the Rebel XT. Kind of interesting. :)

Harlequin bugs (Dindymus versicolor) are natives that are known to occur in southern to eastern Australian states. They are minor pests of ornamentals and soft fruits, though usually in urban gardens. They may also have minor carnivorous tendencies. Research shows they will eat larvae and other animal proteins - I've also personally observed cannibalism though most likely just opportunistic rather than predatory which may also apply to their carnivory in general.

The red colour in the patterns of the elytra and pronotum can vary from being dull and dark to being bright with sunburst qualities.

Dock Bug

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?

Ooooops time to prepare the evening meal.......catch up later.

THANKS FOR LOOKING..........HAVE A NICE DAY

Look what he has done to my rose!

Can anyone identify him for me please?

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???

This funny bug was on a plant in our yard - I held a piece of black constustruction paper behind the plant. He was funny - he would wave his front legs at the camera.

The bugs here in Florida get pretty big! This lovely Palmetto Bug (Cockroach) was about 2.5 inches long.

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.

Not sure what it was but it was a big beastie.

Hehe, I have created a set called "Bug Porn". It's for those bugs that just couldn't get a room.

My new little kitten, June Bug :)

Found this bug / beetle on my ride in the east slope of the mountains Saturday. It was big (about 2 to 3 inches long), had grasshopper-like legs, and didn't move any body part except its eyes as I circled it. Anyone know what it is? And what's that pelvic anchor that's jammed into the ground? Is it (she?) burying eggs?
