I found this bug in my yard and took it's picture before I put it back in the dirt. I didn't squish it, even though I think it's a queen ant, because I figure if they're outside it's not really fair to squish them since that's where ants are supposed to be.
This bug looked like a white, fuzzy/pointy, caterpillar-ish thing when it was captured. It was definitely insect-like in its legs; but it had little branch-y things poking out all over it.
But, I left it alone and had dinner before beginning to shoot. And when I came back to it after dinner, it had become a green bug with wings. Note that the earlier ones the wings are opaque and then become clear as it dries.
Spotted in my garden. This bug was very obedient, sitting still for shot after shot after shot. Then, a gust of wind blew and the bug just fell off the plant onto the floor. It had been dead all along :(
Am I a bad person for laughing that I didn't notice?
June 29, 2009 @ 12:30pm: I just found a bug crawling in my spinach salad (see pic link below)! YUCK! And when I took it back to them, the response I got was "That's how you know it's organic." ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME?!?!?!
Green Shield Bug, ( Palomena prasina ),. This bug usually darkens before going into hibernation and may be deep bronze in late autumn, but at other times of the year it is bright green and unlike any of our other shield bugs. Common in many habitats, including gardens, feeds mainly on deciduous shrubs and tall herds, .....12-14mm,....

OOF! Got down on the ground to get this bug's eye view of a daisy. I was going to shoot the white spider on the petals, but it swung away from my lens. SO I then decided to go for this angle.
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
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.
