Taken on our dam I wondered down to see if the water lily’s had any more life left in them & found this bug doing what bugs do.
Series of three. I have just started putting together a Bug Hotel on my allotment. Poppy (the local cat, that loves my potting shed) thinks she might move into the bug hotel instead!

It was a dark and stormy day.
One minute, it was a mottled, ho-hum cloudy kind of day. The kind you hate. The kind that makes you wish it was a few hours earlier or later; the better for the weather to start throwing a temper tantrum, or something. So it was going at the Bug Ranch in Conway, Texas, on Route 66.
Well, I wasn't paying attention. Suddenly I noted that the sky had turned, not black, but into a sheer opaque beige wall of dust and grime advancing on me which completely obscured the buildings and highway I had been fretting about in the foreground of my proposed shots. The wind rose, the temperature dropped, and the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I ran for the car, and found shelter just as a crescendo of wind and sound and spitting rain started keening around me.
Fifteen minutes later it was gone, but it left lasting damage on I-40 going east: a five or six hour delay cleaning up a massive four-semi accident, where at least one trucker lost their life and several others were injured.
Actually its not my hobby. I just bought them at ebay to practice macros with subjects which do not run away ;-) Focus Bracketing for example which I have also used here to get the whole bug sharp (not the needles).
I saw this bug on a car window. When I saw the image on the computer I liked the effect and to me it looks as if it is in space.
This bug is genus Riptortus, a pod-sucking true bug, with piercing and sucking mouthparts.
Body length 20 mm.

Leaffooted Bug (A true bug!), Leptoglossus oppositus
------------
This bug was on the outside of the window and all other reflections (camera lens, etc.), dirt specs and outdoor images are as they appeared and have not been added or manipulated.

Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family. Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops. Like members of some other genera in the family, these bugs have leaflike dilations of the hind tibia. Leptoglossus oppositus is one of a variety of species of leaf-footed bugs. It looks very much like Leptoglossus fulvicornis but can be distinguished by the deeper scallops in the leaf-like feature of the hind tibia and the addition of three white spots across the hemelytra.

An unidentified Shield Bug found in Corfu in June.
It is possibly the Red Shield Bug (Carpocoris mediterraneus) but the colour of this insect is so much darker the C. mediterraneus. However, colour is not necessarily diagnostic in identifying these insects. If anyone can offer any help, then this will be gratefully received.
This is a tiny little bug at about 4mm, looks like a tiny shield bug, this is an adult and this is the time of year they mate

Reduviidae, Assassin bug
I was focusing on a spider devouring its prey when this little assassin landing on my hair and then fly again to the nearby grass. Hey! nobody step on my head and get away that easy.... I have been looking for this species for a while, so the spider can get back in the queue. This is Assassin bug .... they most commonly have an elongated head with a distinct narrowed neck, long legs, and a prominent rostrum for feeding. If harassed, they can use their rostrum to deliver a painful bite, which in some species can be medically significant. Predatory Reduviidae use the long rostrum to inject lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva contains enzymes that predigest the tissues they swallow. This method is commonly effective at killing prey substantially larger than the bug itself. Some species tend to feed on pests such as cockroaches or bedbugs and are accordingly popular in regions where people regard their hunting as beneficial. Some people even breed them as pets and for pest control.
