This beautiful female Blue Dasher sure did give this sick old lady a wonderful opportunity for lots of photos. I really enjoyed her. Hot summer here and I still can't get out anywhere. Thank You, Jesus, for beautiful bugs in God's garden!
Here is another angle of this Rare Jagged Ambush Bug from last summer. You can see his horns a bit better on this image.
I'm pretty much a novice at anything other than geometric patterning. I was experimenting with shapes, and they looked like a bug. I looked at Swooshable for help with 180 degree snot-work, and they had a thing with finger hinges that worked decently. It's a bit fragile, but it's all stuck together -- a minor victory. Anyway, I learned something new while making it, so that's good. Now I only have about 15.3 trillion more new things to learn about LEGO. ;-)
Spotted by David (dsmphoto) on a recent photo outing, this guy has us completely stumped. I.D. anyone? Lacey? Bueller? (Aw, c'mon, view large, you know you really want to!)
We have several winners of the "i.d. this alien monster bug" contest -- thanks all for identifying this as a Wheel Bug, a darling little creature from the Assassin bug family. Yikes!

Oncopeltus fasciatus, known as the large milkweed bug, is a medium-sized hemipteran (true bug) of the family Lygaeidae. It is distributed throughout North America. It ranges from Central America through Mexico and the Caribbean to southern areas in Canada. Costa Rica represents this insects southern limit. It inhabits disturbed areas, roadsides and open pastures. Due to this widespread geographic distribution this insect exhibits varying life history trade-offs depending on the population location.
Adults can range from 10–18 mm in length and have a red/orange and black X-shaped pattern on their wings underneath the triangle that is typical to hemipterans.
This feature makes the bug easily seen, acting as a aposomatic warning to predators of distastefulness. O. fasciatus exhibits müllerian mimicry and is noxious to predators. The ventral side of the fourth abdominal segment bears a black band in the male and two black spots in the female. Juveniles are born mostly red with black antennae and a few black spots, throughout growth the black spots are developed as well as wing pads. Eggs of this insect are bright orange and easily detectable.
