Me and my lovely bug <3

We have had so many of these this year. Hopefully they will eat the 'bad' bugs.

A new bug for my collection - a Common Sawfly (Tenthredinidae) of some kind. Sawflies and their larvae are food for various birds, such as stonechat (Saxicola) birds, partridge chicks, nestling corn buntings, Black grouse chicks, and chestnut-backed chickadees, according to wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawfly

Bug hotel in the Woodland.

Create a bug hotel to provide hidey-holes for creatures galore. Building a bug hotel (also known as a wildlife hotel or stack) in your garden can provide a safe hideaway for wildlife and help make use of your garden waste. A well-built hotel can shelter anything from hedgehogs to toads, solitary bees to bumblebees, and ladybirds to woodlice. You can build your bug hotel at any time of year, but you might have the most natural materials such as straw, dry grass and hollow plant stems in autumn.

Plant bug. Deraeocoris flavilinea I think

Busy bug on The Washlands.

I have no idea what kind of insect this is but I thought he was kind of cool looking. Anyone?

First one of these I’ve seen in a long time. We have always called them June bugs or June beetles, but their actual name is Cotinis nitida. They can be fairly destructive, but I don’t think there is an abundance of them around here, so I let him go his merry way. (He may have actually been brought in with the storm yesterday.)

Decided to go out in the yard and see if this was possible.

Front yard, Bernardsville, NJ

I was testing my latest home-made softbox and overdid the rim lighting (I'm trying to come up with a way of not having to lug lots of supporting equipment for the flashes around). I rather like the end result though, even if there isn't much detail in the insect's face. This guy was very tiny - his head was about 1mm wide. I chased him around his leaf holding the camera in one hand and a 430EX flashgun in the other.
