The bug.

A hue processed macro.

I just bought myself a Surface Pro 4 and tried tethered macro photography for the first time.

These aphids on the underside of an ornamental plant were all the wildlife I could find in our garden. In all seventeen images under artificial light, focus stacked using Helicon Focus 6. Hopefully I can find something more exotic as it gets warmer.

Everyone knows bugs are indestructible...I mean they can even thrive in Atomic Bomb testing sites. War needs solders who can be happy eating cat poop...

Yes it is just a bug, but I like the composition a lot

Dead Bugs bunch of old VW's waiting to be salvaged in this group shot in North Carolina.

Red-bellied Woodpecker ready to pounce...

Common in my rear yard.

Bugs was so intent on what he was interested in, it was easy for me to get in close to get this shot. His focus did not waver an iota.

A vintage automobile in the ghost town of Lake Valley has headlights like bug eyes. I bet this car was a beauty in its day!

Striped bugs having a concert.

I found this critter feeding on the Black-eyed Susans.

Our gardens are teeming with insect life if we just take the time to stop and observe...

Happy Labor Day everyone!

The red bug was careless, it didn't notice the spider in time and it was running through the spider's back. The spider was angry, but it didn't want to catch the red bug :-)

Or maybe it wanted just scare the spider! ;-)

Dock bug (Coreus marginatus) on a leaf.

Spined soldier bug (member of the stink bug family) sucking the life out of a black swallowtail caterpillar. This event took place on a dill plant that the caterpillar was feasting on.

I managed to capture this image of a small brown thornbill yesterday.

It had been successfully busy catching bugs - it has quite a mouthful!!

Hope you like this.

At the moment, my job is preventing me from experiencing spring migration, so here's a shot of a Palm Warbler that I took at this same time last year.

These could be Monkey beetles...not sure.

Sie fressen zwar gern junge Blätter, aber wirklich böse kann ich ihnen nicht sein, wo sie doch so fotogen sind. :)

I think these nymph butts are pretty striking - Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
