What's Buggin' Me!

The fascinating world of insects, brought to you up close and personal.




               These damselflies caught my attention by their vivid colors and their big, alert bug eyes!













                         This bee was so smothered in pollen, it almost looks like it's wearing a fur coat!






                                               I was captivated by this bee in silhouette.






                                    This tiny bee shone with metallic flashes as it darted about the lilies.






                                                              What the heck is THIS??? 






                 And whatever this insect is, it stayed on the hood of my car for about 8 miles while I drove!






                This leaf-looking bug, a Katydid, was crawling on my computer table the other night! 
                                   These are the noisy bugs you hear on hot August nights,
                                     singing as part of a trio with the crickets and peepers.






                                                 This rusty fencepost was home to this bug
                            and also the tiny spider (who seemed to be as curious of me and I was of it!)
                                       that's peeking out from the post in the image after that.









                                                                    Speaking of spiders... 
                I just had to include this web, shining with iridescent colors; the spider was not present.






                                                  This worm was hanging by a thread of silk.






                                               A morphed 'pillar....  now a beautiful butterfly.






  This fly took a break from it's buzzing and landed on a tree trunk where it basked in the warm morning sun.
