To raise awareness, huge photos of bugs, insects, etc., lined this street. Photos from wandering around the gay village of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in August 2010.

Lit with an SB910 on a tripod over my shoulder and an SB600 on the floor to give a slight backlight. Mini TT1, 2 Flex TT5's and a AC3.
This is an ambush bug nymph. Nymphs come in different color.
Notice the wing buds sticking out from the back. They are hard to see because they are just so small!
Dindymus versicolor, or as it is more commonly known, the Harlequin bug, is currently in plague proportions and enjoying sucking the sap from the native hibiscus (Alogyne huegelii) which is flowering profusely at the moment. In these photos of mating couples the female is on the left and is the one feeding on the sap of the plant.
A stink bug checking out some spackle.
The other day, my husband had to break up a fight at his school. One kid bet another kid $5 that he wouldn't eat one of these bugs. He didn't pay up when the kid ate one. Freshman Fear Factor.
OK, I give up! This MSH kicked my ass. There are no scarabs to be found here. No Egyptian museums, or jewelry stores ... or anywhere else I can think of to look, except for the picture in the dictionary and I'm not going to do that. So here you go - it's a bug anyway. Sorry, pedants! :)
October MSH #11: scarab
While on an undercover mission to try and find out the bugs tactics, I spotted this well disguised bug. He was near Bardstown trying to get into the Bluegrass festival. He tried dressing the part and even had a fake guitar. Nice try bug. SQUASHED!!! Take this as a warning,,these bugs are desperate to try and infiltrate human society. Do not approach these vile creatures. If you spot a possible bug,,contact me as soon as possible with the location so I can get a team on it. Remember, this is our planet. We have to defend it no matter what. More on the last mission tomorrow.
I was looking for a hummingbird (yes, a few still here), this little bug (bee?) flew onto the giant leaf of the castor bean plant, casting a cool shadow. This was my first instinctive shot. I did need to crop it, but that's it. Even tho I took a few more shots, my first one was best. It seems a lot of the time, unless stopped by some technical issue, first shots are the best shots. I like it, anyway. View L.
Pheobe was made for my friend Erin's baby girl who is due in September. She doesn't have any antennae because I knew those would be the first to get ripped off, especially if she was being drug around by her antennae.
She has bits of plastic wrappers stuffed in her feet because babies love crinklely things.

I found this small bug on the back bumper of my car. I've never seen this type before. It's a bit bigger than a ladybug.
I'm spending this week developing my professional web site (finally!), so I'm going to infill with some of the really groovy bug shots that I got on the weekend with my old friend LP.
It took a while for this cockroach to relax enough to move his head away from his body. For the first few minutes, he was all scrunched up. I thought the definition of his head in this photo really made the shot.
Very creepy viewed large.
Taken handheld with my Nikon D600 for 1/60th of a second at f/8, ISO 1600 with my Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR macro lens, using on-camera flash.
Assassin Bug Pristhesancus plagipennis, it hides in amongst flowers and leaves to ambush prey. It grabs with the long front legs, and, having impaled the victim, pumps digestive enzymes into it and then sucks it up as liquid!! Tiny flies also took advantage! In a larger size these dudes would be the stuff of nightmares!
