This bug doesn't look too happy to have found himself taking a walk on NogBaad's hand!
(BTW - It is a Sailor Beetle - Cantharis rustica)
Potato Bug (Closterotomus norvegicus, Miridae), Windy Hill OSP, San Mateo Co., CA - July 2009. Thanks to Wongun Kim and Harsi Parker from Bug Guide for species-level identification!
does this happen to anybody besides me? I should look in FlickrBugs. But it's sleep time now.
Oh, Firefox 1.0.2 on Win XP, by the way. Tons of plugins. And that's the Comments you've made page (http://www.flickr.com/photos_comments.gne)

Happened to find the instructions for careful placement of your plastic boxes that claim to produce a negative ion field.
My pride and joy. Made in one of my college entomology classes. Sadly it's not surviving...some other insects have gotten in and eaten away at the ones that I collected. It's also endured a fall off of a shelf, thanks to Percy. Ah well, they don't last forever. At least I have this photo.

Natalie found this little critter in our yard.I have no idea what, exactly, he is. But man, is he cute. I'm assuming those black eyes are fake, designed to make him look bigger and more dangerous. Frankly, it just makes him look more lovable.
Assassin bug nymph hatchlings. Still covered in the mucusy yuck from the egg case. These were all shot hand held with a 70-200L lense with a full stack of macro tubes and varying degrees of zoom. Because of the hand held, heavy post production sharpening was needed. Wind was blowing like mad as it usually is here. As you know, with macro tubes it's all manual focus...
Deciding to stop being lazy and take some pictures. I saw this little guy on a flower I figured I would not be able to get close enough to take a picture before he took off, but he actually sat there and let me take a few. I was also lucky enough to get him just as he was taking off.
WIT: I did a little cropping and adjusted the brightness.
(the one of him sitting is in my photostream if you would like to see it)
What the Heck! I snapped this with my cell phone. This dude is pulling two jet ski's with a VW bug on the freeway. What a chump.

While my husband was out riding the porcupine trail in Moab, Utah, I went bug hunting. This guy sat still enough for me to get my tripod to use on this picture. The wind was lightly blowing so I caught this in between the gusts.
This little guy sat outside the house today when we left to go shopping, and still hung out, after we got back. Almost looks like he is smiling for the camera.
