A pic of an interesting bug that was sitting on an aloe vera like plant. I took this during my trip through south africa.
...ok, detail struck (stuck) photogs; I know the shot is imperfect; yes the ends of the primary subject have been cut off; the shot looks hasty; yes I know!
..but the thing is is that, snapshot inspirations happen fast; this is not still life, this is life in motiion real stuff... yes I can fix the exposure a bit and occasionally I do; but that's not what I or this flickr deal of mine are about...
It's all about what is.
Imperfections and all.
One of my favourites. They particularly like the large leaves of our Rhubarb. Related to the shield bugs. They have a beautiful metallic gold sheen on the centre of the back.
Fried (or otherwise cooked) bugs! This is the only place we saw them (aside from the ant larvae in the market in Chiang Mai).
I could not bring myself to eat any. They were HUGE!
With thanks to Baris for the correct ID! This was taken in Halkidiki, Greece in July 2014 in the same field as all the shieldbugs posted earlier.
This family is evidently noted for providing parental care of offspring, and preys on other insects - and thats about all I can find about it!

Clouded Skipper
Lerema accius
Unfortunately he decided to land on a piece of litter, but he was so skittish that I shot him where I could. I like his three wing spots - probably an identifying feature if I knew more Lepidoptera.
skye collects so many bugs and puts them in any container she can find. the leaves on the top are a nice decoration
