www.stvincent.edu/wpnr | 5-6 year olds (with an adult) traveled around the Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve as they search for butterflies, spiders, dragonflies, bees, beetles, and more!
Caught these two bugs procreating on a flower. Quite romantic don't you think?
Anyone want to id them using Linnaeus classifications?
My sweet Bug was also from Husky Rescue. When we got her she couldn't care less if we were there or not. I think she had always been on her own. She didn't know what a belly rub was either. I had to push her over. After 3 obedience and one agility class, she was the sweetest thing and a total glutton for the belly rub.
The Dead Bug Funeral Kit comes with a 32-page Illustrated Buggy Book of Eulogies with Ribbon Bookmark, Casket, Grave Marker, White Clay Flower, Burial Scroll, and Pouch of Grass Seed.
It costs $20 to bury your bug right. I have decided to leave him where he was slain, to serve as a warning to others.
Bug got a bath today... Water drop shooting has been my mission... If you bother to look at the large size, well, I believe it is worth it.

As I stood next to a cluster of fireweed, a most peculiar creature quietly arrived and began visiting the numerous open flowers, hovering very much like a hummingbird. At first, with butterfly-like wings that had translucent windows, the little beast seemed to be a creature of fairy tales. Soon I realized that I gazed upon a species of Sphinx Moth, a family that contains many striking and fascinating forms. Most are nocturnal. But a few, including the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth (Hemaris thysbe) that flew before me, fly about during the day. I patiently followed the frantically flapping animal with my lens, trying to capture shots in the evening sunlight. A frustrating task, for the moth cleverly tended to stay in the shaded areas, only rarely venturing into the full sun. I had to be quick with the shutter actuator to capture the beast in vivid light. Indeed, this shot is in partial shade, when along the edge of a shadow from a nearby tree branch, with a hint of sunshine.
This animal is said to fly and drink nectar in a manner similar to a hummingbird, while also mimicking bumble bees, and indeed the sphinx moth appeared like a little hummer. Interestingly, as I snapped shots of the moth, an actual hummingbird arrived at the scene, also quite interested in the fireweed flowers. I captured a few frames of the bird, too.
arrived in the post this morning, hopefuly now i can figure out what some of the bugs i take shots of actually are! :P
oh and i did the old selective colour gag on it, just for fun!
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.
Not sure about the id for the nymph - there were several on bramble and mallow and in the vicinity of Closterotomus trivialis
