A picture of Bria after her 2nd grade show. She's dressed as a ladybug, but her refusal to smile makes me wonder if she should have been cast as the stinkbug? Just kidding. Apparently me and my camera embarrass her.

Eushistus variolarius, Carroll County, Carroll County Extension Office, 28 June 2017. ID'd using a key adapted from McPherson 1982.

Florida predatory stinkbug sucking the sweet juices from some poor buggy.

Sorry for the quality of this one. I had to shoot through the kitchen window for fear of destroying the web!

As far as things to drive you completely buggy go, trying to ID shield bugs is proving difficult to beat. Mostly because their isn't that much variety in their shape, and the problem only becomes worse when you're trying to ID them from Nymphs.

Waikiki, Western Australia

I forgot to stop down (manual aperture along with manual focus) and at this distance f/3.5 is just plain useless. Another reason why the EF upgrade of this lens to f/3.5 is silly and the 60mm EF f/2.8 and 100mm f/2.8 macro lenses also need to be stopped down for macro. f/2.8 is great to find optimal focus, to use the high precision AF points but to get much more than the snout of a stinkbug in focus, you need more DOF...

Euschistus servus

A stinkbug on the path that just had to be photographed according to the 6yo daughter and 8yo son of my friend at their home in Australind

Do not use my images without asking first, please and thank you!

I was just going through some old photos when I found this photograph I had never posted before of two stink bugs crawling out of a sunflower.

Giant Leaf-footed Stink-bug, Acanthocephala declivis

These four insect studies will be shown at the Rocket Science Salon's 5th annual Art Show on September 22, 2007.

This little stink bug had successfully captured a caterpillar much bigger than itself. It appeared as though the caterpillar dropped off the leaf on a thread of silk in an attempt to throw off the predator however this little guy held on!

A close up of a stink bug. They sure are interesting when you see their patterns!
