These guys are large bug thingy wannabes and so they are naturally a bit puny. Took all of two minutes to come up with one and then just rinse & repeat. ;)

Briolette Bug - 4-5 November, 2009
I was looking at this orange tourmaline briolette in my collection, trying to think of what to make with it, and decided on a bug. I thought it would look perfect as the abdomen peeking through lacy wire wings. Here's the result. :D

The 14-spot Ladybird is a small lady beetle, native and widespread in the Old World, and invasive in North America. It is sometimes referred to by the common name 14-spotted ladybird beetle, or simply P-14. The background color ranges from cream through yellow to light orange, but not red. Only rarely are 14 separate spots present on the elytra; most commonly, several of the spots fuse into larger markings, particularly along the midline, where they often create a shape resembling an anchor, sometimes fusing to such an extent as to render the body almost entirely black except for 12 pale spots.
Latin name: Propylea quatuordecimpunctata
Polish name: Wrzeciążka
I bought this bug brooch years ago and LOVE him but - A- he's VERY heavy and suitable for a heavy coat or jacket only and B- as I said earlier- I admire jewellry but rarely wear much!
The wheel bug eating a piece of banana.
I found a wheel bug on my porch steps, so I moved it over to the railing just to see what it would do. It walked around near the praying mantis (in the other photo) and then it found the banana. Neither bug seemed to pay any attention to the other being near by.

The wheel bug (Arilus cristatus), in the family Reduviidae, is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, being up to 1.5 inches, or 38 mm, in length; it is the only member of its genus.
The bite of a wheel bug is painful and may take months to heal (sometimes leaving a small scar), so caution is highly advised when handling them. The reproductive cycle of the wheel bug initiates in autumn - now!

Possibly Green Stink Bug. We shall see.

Scelionid wasp hatched from shield bug eggs. Finds a pair of antennae sticking out from another egg and takes a lot of interest in the new appearance. Unfortunately the new hatchling seemed to be stuck. Meanwhile another head appeared and quickly hatched leaving the other one still stuck. I have a feeling the already hatched wasp was a male and the hatching one was a female, hence all the interest.
