Lygaeid Bugs
The Lygaeidae are a family in the Hemiptera (true bugs), with some 60 genera in six subfamilies. The family includes the insects commonly known as milkweed bugs, and also some of those known as seed bugs.

These bugs were on the leaf of a red Abutilon shrub.
Speke Hall
The kitchen garden in the grounds of Speke Hall. The little wooden building by the terracotta bell pots on the left, is a hotel for bugs and insects. The beds in the garden are planted with potato’s, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and numerous other veg. In the far right corner is an area dedicated to herbs.
The building with the very wonky chimney that is situated just outside the garden is now a cafe, In the 1600’s this was a much large timber framed barn.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
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.

I SCREAMED for a blue sheet as I saw this tiny yellow bug with its black dots! :)) (Fortunately, I had it laying around…)
Tools: Aperture, Dfine 2, Viveza 2 and Color Efex Pro4.
I wanted an awesomely detailed face shot. The beetle had other ideas. Well at least it is still detailed.

I don't usually tend to double up with my uploads but this is another shot of the Brown Shield Bugs on my Tibouchina tree taken two days ago after a small petal fell on them during overnight rain and scattered them a bit. This shot was again taken end on with near maximum aperture but with a flash and shows the reality we face dealing with shallow depths of field.
I was doing a bit of research over the weekend and was also amazed at the difference to DOF that different focal lengths make. For instance with two otherwise similar lenses with otherwise similar settings, a factor of two in differential focal length (say 105mm to say 60mm) results in DOF's for the same aperture that can be five or more times different. That's a significant amount and meaningful in terms of outcomes of macro photography and shots.
The beautiful Eucalyptus rhodantha capsules giving a really bug eyed view of themselves. Kings Park, Perth. The native vegetation is suffering badly from excessive drought as well as boring South Asian insect pest that managed to get into Perth and is devastating many species. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_rhodantha
Countless Alco switchers were rebuilt with Caterpillar or Cummins engines, and sold to small mine operations throughout Appalachia. Most had their cabs removed or sealed shut, and operated by remote control, or from a utilitarian control stand. They were known generically as “bug slugs”, in deference to having a Caterpillar engine.
From what I have been able to piece together, at least two were built for the Kentucky-Ohio Transportation Company of South Shore, Kentucky. They were built by Johnson Railway Services of Taylorsville, North Carolina in 1980. The rebuilt units had a control stand on the steps, as is evidenced by the “phone booth on the former cab end steps. Somehow, this unit ended up in Baltimore, Maryland, by 1985.

There are aphids on this rosebud. Apparently, the big one is a mother who has given birth to all the little ones.
The camera can see better than I can. I had no idea there were bugs there.
There were ladybug larvae on the roses last year, so hopefully they will appear and gobble up the aphids.
Kind of stands out in a crowd with those bold colors. It's a milkweed assassin bug nymph. A lot of insects associated with milkweed have the bright orange & black colors to warn predators they are toxic. This bug is not really associated with milkweed and got its name due to the resemblance to milkweed (nonassassin) bugs that do feed on milkweed. This one was on my Indian Hawthorn hedges. Confused yet?
