This is a True Katydid, Pterophylla camellifolia. I'm probably too picky, but the true katydid posted is actually a MALE. Males of some katydids have elaborate subgenital plates that resemble a female's ovipositor, so it is really easy to make that mistake. The stridulatory area on the front wings (the brown triangle at the top of the insect in the nice photo) confirms that it is a male. Females do not have modifications of the front wings.

These bugs that look like ladybugs but are much meaner were swarming everywhere, meaning our trip was cut short.
Blimey ... just had this fella come into my home tonight and saw it crawling around the kitchen! My first sighting of one of these!
I am a huge fan of Google Reader, but so far I'm not digging Google Buzz.
The integration of Buzz into Gmail is particularly irksome. It appears that every comment on an article you post, or even comments left after you've commented on something, appear in both Buzz and in your email box... meaning my email is filling up with comments because I left a comment in a thread.
Another point of contention is this annoying error I keep getting when trying to comment on one of Scott's Buzzes. Is that right? "Buzzes"?
I believe the error is somehow tied to the fact that Scott is "following" me on Reader, but not "friends" with me. This is an annoying aspect of Reader, but at least it clearly indicates that I can't comment on his posts.
If I'm right, this is probably a bug that will get fixed later... if I'm wrong, then I have to say it would be weird if people shared things on Reader, but I could only comment on them in Buzz.
Milkweed bugs are usually found in groups on milkweed plants , often on the underside of the leaves. The plant produces a milky white sap when a leaf is removed. These plants are large (3-4 feet high) with sprays of small white flowers in the summer. In the fall , seed pods develop which are 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. When the seeds ripen, the seed pods open up releasing the seeds which float on fluffy white parasols. Milkweed bugs can be found on seed pods piercing the wall of the pod to feed on seeds. Milkweed bugs are one of a small group of insects that have the ability to tolerate the toxic (poisonous) compounds in the milkweed plant. They are therefore important in regulating populations of this plant.

These bugs have just appears and seem to be eating the zilions of other orange and black bugs that we have in our garden.
Box and the Bug in the yard. I'm amused that the Bug is (even lowered) nearly as tall as Box, longer than Box, and not that much smaller overall.
The bug is sold and the guy buying it is supposed to come pay it off and pick it up tomorrow. Wanted to get some last shots before it goes away.
Found this little bug on my window screen when I got home from work. Have not seen one of these for a very long time.

This is a combination of images altered with Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. I'm working on first choosing a shape, then getting it, (the black in this image for example), to move as a floating object. Then I move it over a larger image until I find a position, size, and rotation, so that the, (bug image in this example), seems most pleasing. Then I merge flat, or rastorize, to fuse the 2 layers.
