Oncopeltus fasciatus, known as the large milkweed bug, is a medium-sized hemipteran (true bug) of the family Lygaeidae. It is distributed throughout North America. It ranges from Central America through Mexico and the Caribbean to southern areas in Canada. Costa Rica represents this insects southern limit. It inhabits disturbed areas, roadsides and open pastures. Due to this widespread geographic distribution this insect exhibits varying life history trade-offs depending on the population location.

Adults can range from 10–18 mm in length and have a red/orange and black X-shaped pattern on their wings underneath the triangle that is typical to hemipterans.

This feature makes the bug easily seen, acting as a aposomatic warning to predators of distastefulness. O. fasciatus exhibits müllerian mimicry and is noxious to predators. The ventral side of the fourth abdominal segment bears a black band in the male and two black spots in the female. Juveniles are born mostly red with black antennae and a few black spots, throughout growth the black spots are developed as well as wing pads. Eggs of this insect are bright orange and easily detectable.

After a cold and snowy journey up from Chicago, Q326's power backs through the plant at Plaster Creek towards the diesel house for servicing. With a C40-8, a pair of SD40-2s, and an ex Conrail SD50, this quartet of standard cab units was a nice catch even back in 2008. #2479's FRA-approved "Bug Eye" marker lights, a Conrail staple, are shining red as the conductor gives me a look.

Bugs in my backyard.

And there are another bugs making love on front but not focused :}

FAQ: Pourquoi l'image obtenue est-elle anormale ?

Réponse:

Nous vous remercions pour votre confiance.

Dans de rares cas, certains CCD utilisés dans les appareils photo et les caméscopes numériques Canon peuvent présenter un défaut qui affecte l'image.

Nous vous prions de nous excuser pour les éventuels désagréments occasionnés. Canon s'engage à réparer gratuitement les produits qui présentent ce défaut.

Canon souhaite informer ses clients des détails de la situation et vous faire part des moyens entrepris pour la régler.

Détails de la situation:

Dans quelques très rares cas, on a pu constater un détachement des fils internes des CCD utilisés dans les produits concernés, dans des conditions de température/humidité élevée.

Le signal n'est alors pas émis correctement par le CCD en mode de prise de vue. Ceci entraîne des résultats anormaux tels que :

* Les images n'apparaissent pas.

* Les images présentent des couleurs anormales.

* Les images présentent une distorsion.

L'écran LCD confirme ces symptômes.

Solution :

Nous recommandons vivement aux utilisateurs qui ont observé ces symptômes de contacter leur centre de maintenance Canon.

Les produits concernés seront réparés gratuitement si le détachement des fils internes du CCD est avéré.

Bug on Daisy

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

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...

Captured in at home in Glasgow in the hot sunshine.

Taken with my Nikon D5500 DSLR camera and Sigma 150-600C Contemporary lens including 1.4x Converter.

Captured at 850mm Handheld.

This one was new to me, looked a little like a crane fly, but the head is different. Identified by the Seek IOS app. Those are some long legs...

Warrior Bug from Starship Troopers

Fun fact: I am actually in the 1997 film “Starship Troopers”. If you can find me, I’ll buy you a donut.

On another note: I’ve been inactive on Flickr and in Lego for some time so I’ll be uploading shots of things I already have made. I hope you enjoy them.
