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

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.

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 . . .
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 adorable little guy is Zelus, probably Zelus luridus, and although they're skittish and difficult to photograph as adults, this one is a nymph and has no wings (this is the form in which the species overwinters), so he can't fly away. I found him on a branch, then he strolled nonchalantly onto my arm, so here he is! I'm not that hairy, so you can see how small he is. I just love their little "L-shaped" feet! :)
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.

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.
