Bug and Rodents – Here's a little something different I did that's going into a show that opens today. I hardly ever show anything but this is one I couldn't wait to participate in and so glad to get the invite.
The theme of the show is 'Pest Control' and there's a bit of everything in here.
A 3D printed white plastic bug refrigerator magnet made by my son in middle school. Wingtip-to-wingtip measures 2.5".
The "bug" is placed on a white acrylic sheet with a bare single off-camera flash about 6" (18cm) overhead and white-balance manually set to "flash".
Post-processing consisted of cropping, converting to black-and-white and slight adjustment of the tone curve.
Bugsy checking out the street view and occasionally admiring our outside Christmas Lights. :)
Bugsy always looks forward to Christmas. He gets treats, toys, and sweaters.
Merry Christmas to all!
This little fellow has been invading my office twice today (flying and crawling). I have never seen this species before. Now I know this bug is "Leptoglossus occidentalis" and comes from North America. First seen in Europe in the late 1990s, since 2006 here in Germany.
I put him on my window sill where he remained and observed me all day long.
I don't know the name of that bug. Does anybody know it's name?
The length of that bug is just about 2mm and unfortunately I had no tripod with me. Therefore this is a free hand shot, made just with the help of my E-M1 in body image stabilizer.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
My plan was to capture the shroom but then this bug landed and the camera changed focus. I had it set on a 5sec delay so...
The Golden Bug. When I think of golden bugs I think of Edgar Allan Poe, in mystery, treasures, adventures; in Egypt, mummies and curses; in Aladdin and the Cave of Wonders. The Golden Bug is an icon of popular culture of all times.

This bug, wanting to become the smartest one in the world, kept me company during the last night's endless learning session.

Hope this meets your approval dear partner x
This is a funny one. With birds and bugs, I usually know immediately with a good view whether I have seen or shot one before. With this one I did not know, but the colours made me highly motivated to make the shot. I did not think much of it afterwards until posting it on iNaturalist and discovering that it is only the second to ever be reported in Manitoba on INat. The first was reported in late July of this year.
My impression was that they were commonplace and, upon learning otherwise, thought perhaps it was because I had seen them on FLICKR. However, I figured it out today: it is on the cover of my main insect guide Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of NA.
Surprisingly, I found the bug at the Living Prairie Museum despite the fact that we probably have much more milkweed on our property than they have.
A bug, possibly of the Pentatomidae family, but I cannot get any closer than that..
Suburban Canberra, Australia, January, 2017.
There are aphids on this rosebud. Apparently, the big one is a mother who has given birth to all the little ones.
The camera can see better than I can. I had no idea there were bugs there.
There were ladybug larvae on the roses last year, so hopefully they will appear and gobble up the aphids.
I got a macro lens for Christmas but the weather has been so atrocious, I've not had the chance to use it. It was finally dry today so I took it out. This was the only thing that caught my eye. It was taken in a hurry as the fly buzzed off rather too quickly. Hopefully the weather will improve and I'll be able to capture some more pleasing images. :)
