A bit of an experimental mood today. Not sure for the colors, but I guess this should be something like a bug sees the world.
This bug just fell onto my desk right next to the keyboard. Paralyzed for a few minutes it was an easy target.

Screen capture of a weird bug on my computer. No work involved. Delightful.
Two green shield bugs (Palomena prasina) propagating the species, “making the beast with two heads”.
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.

I think they are called stag beetles? This critter is often on our front deck. This morning I found him upside-down getting attacked by ants so I flipped him. He often will hold on to the deck for dear life if you try to pick him up and he can hiss too!
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! :)
