A Cold and Windy Morning,and the Bugs are not Moving.

Bug on Daisy

I am not sure what type of bug this is, but he was cool looking.

I have lived in Texas for forty years. I never saw an insect of this description. Let me know if you think you can identify the species.

Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive fluid liquid.

Its a Bugs Life.

I loved sitting watching these little House Sparrows jumping about the small bushes and plants taking every bug in their sight back to the nest for their young to eat! This particular Sparrow had a large wasp which it quickly scraped along the path and then flew off...

Bug.

I recently found a pair of Nikon fiber optic lights on Craigslist for a bargain and it has really improved my macro and micro photography by allowing me to properly illuminate my subjects for stacking purposes. This stink bug eye was shot at about 14x magnification and with only stacking 20 shots I got a decently sharp image. I think the next time I try this I will use more frames.

I was able to get this image of a Yellow Cheeked Honeyeater having a feed on some flying insect recently - hope you like it!

Thanks for any comment, views or favorites - most appreciated!

Have a wonderful day and weekend!

Seen in Mt Wise Park but have been unable to identify. Someone out there must know?

I wasn't concerned

When it landed on my arm

Thought it was harmless

Note: Apparently Assassin Bugs can deliver a rather nasty bite, so I got lucky.

Warm Weather,has the Bugs busy.

(114/366) I haven't got a bug butt photo for today but I have got a Bug Box. Like we really need more things to pack when we do eventually move but I couldn't resist buying this for just €4.99 from Lidl.

This nice bug was found by my cousin. I captured this image in the Great Nemunas Loops regional park near the Nemunas river. The bug seemed very interesting for me because of black spot on its body, it looks like a money-box. ;)

Please have a view of full size... Thanks :)

Focusing on the head of a Pacific Spiny Lobster (California Lobster). Fishermen often refer to them as bugs.

Oncopeltus fasciatus. In the Onion Creek Greenbelt, Austin. These bugs feed on milkweed plants and are unpalatable to predators.
