I'm spending this week developing my professional web site (finally!), so I'm going to infill with some of the really groovy bug shots that I got on the weekend with my old friend LP.
It took a while for this cockroach to relax enough to move his head away from his body. For the first few minutes, he was all scrunched up. I thought the definition of his head in this photo really made the shot.
Very creepy viewed large.
Taken handheld with my Nikon D600 for 1/60th of a second at f/8, ISO 1600 with my Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR macro lens, using on-camera flash.
A little menagerie of bugs on common buttercups. One of the bugs is in mid-air. It took a while to get this shot because they were all afraid of the camera and movement at first, but eventually they returned for me to take the photo. I'm not sure what the little blue flowers are.
i took this shot of a bug (dont know the species) from canon A490...no editing, totally original pic. light conditions were very good.
Ok I know I'm going to get a lot of ews for posting this but hey even insects deserve a little flickr time..lol

Ok. I thought this was a kissing bug. It's not, according to the folks at UCR, this is "a leaf-footed bug from theinsect family Coreidae. It feeds on plant sap instead of blood so
there is nothing to worry about!"

[Old Timer SlugBug = 2 slugs.]
Note - So it's true, the bugs do come out at night.
Nasty bugs are attacking my little lime tree that is already suffering mightily from the unusual freeze we had this winter.
On the branch they look sort of like buds, but with nasty white moldy looking stuff involved. They are soft and squishy and gooey when you pull them off. Also once you get them off you see little wiggly legs and their icky little mouth.
I like them not at all.
If somebody could identify them, so I can find the best way to kill them, before I simply douse the tree with gasoline and set fire to it, that would be lovely.
this was one my initial experimental shots on canon A 490. non edited... A490 gives excellent colors...!
