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

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.
Another bug shot from the other day which I had forgotten about! Not sure what it is, some sort of shield bug I think. The sun was shining brightly and was reflecting off his back making him look multicoloured! Thanks to Lady BH for the ID! This one is an early instar.
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...

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.
