This was on our hallway wall last night. It was about 3-5cm long, I guess. Apparently it is a house centipede. Scutigera coleoptrata.

Sunflower with a bug friend. Used fractalius filter to get glow on the petals.

What bug is this? In swedish it's called Bärfis (berry fart). Don't know why...maybe it farts on berries???

Balmain Bug

These taste great, like a milder lobster.

Another pair from Maria's Garden, NJ.

Milkweed bugs on swamp milkweed.

This bug was crawlling around on the veteran marker of a tombstone. Really liked the mix of colors.

This pic was taken in macro mode using the N82. I love how the color composition turned out.. it's just too good. I love my N82.

Effects and touch up using Photoshop CS4.

Full view recommended!

Reupload of this bug shot with the contrast and brightness pushed just a bit more to get a purer white background for the whiteground group . . .

Affectionately known as a 'Stink Bug' in the US and a Shield Bug in the UK.

A tiny newly emerged nymph of the Bugs, one is trying to take his first flight.

I walked Ruby in the local fields so I concentrated on flowers and bugs whilst Ruby was off the lead and running amok. There was so much to see and the weather was kind so lots of images today. The only problem is that I can't always identify some of the bugs that I make images of. It doesn't stop me but I really need to study more.

These four were pushing each other about to stay on the flower

Bug Run/Movie Night

Spittle bugs at home. Spittle bug nymphs hide in a mass of froth that is a liquid secretion they turn into froth by moving or pumping their bodies. Once the bubbles are formed. they use their back legs to cover themselves with the froth.

The spittle serves multiple purposes. It shields them from predators, insulates them from temperature extremes and prevents dehydration.

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. Just keepin' you on your toes

These bugs that look like ladybugs but are much meaner were swarming everywhere, meaning our trip was cut short.

Bugs I saw at the beach.

On Ivy flower head.

First of any overwintering bugs i found.

Cheers to Tristan for the ID

Sand and bug on Palanga beach. Year 2006, summer. Just found in archive.

This bug lives on a tree that makes you sneeze like craze due to t's tiny feather-like filled pods. I sneezed for ages after this series of macro photos of these local beauties. This little guy is just about to shed his top skin, it's even more attractive underneath his current design wear...

Looks like a little bug-eyed robot face.

amazing colour - I think that's what attracted the bug...

We found this bug in the backyard. This may be the reason Jordan doesn't like to touch bugs
