October Shutterbug Contest-BUGS!!

[SandraK]

I could entertain you with a lot of different bug pictures. Maybe we should start a separate thread for post all your creepy crawly shots

Go for it! I have some other bug photos but I think I'm submitting this one as a recently hatched cicada -

those wings look unreal

 

[SandraK]

Oh gross!

Rather a Praying Mantis than an oversize grub which (in Australia) may be eaten for survival purposes - I believe they're called witchetty grubs -

- and no, I wouldn't but my mum told me about this t.v. show when she was living in Tasmania.

My first post is what I am submitting. And @PeppysPal cicadas aren't exactly beautiful most of the time - by the time they're seen by people they're usually dying and are just plain brown ugly bugs that make that whine whenever it's very hot.

I think almost every insect has one beautiful phase in its life even though it may only be for 30 minutes.

Yeah, the skins are kinda gross to find on trees in the fall too. But beautiful pictures!

That's a cool looking bug . Is it a praying mantis, I'm not sure about the spelling

 

[Just-passn-thru]

This one reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason. It just came out pretty cool looking.

I have one word to say to your post," YUCK! " bugs on stick do not appeal to me ever... No matter how hungry I am. I wonder if bee ones make your mouth numb ? Did you eat any of them ???
Bugs on stick post !

Do bees count?

I love this photo because you can see the pollen on his legs and his little tongue sticking out!

Here is my entry Can you find the butterfly?

Lol I had closer up ones but they weren't very sharp or as clear- and I liked this photo just because you could see lots of flowers

Cute! You made me think of an insect version of Eeyore from Winnie-the-Pooh

Here's my entry, some kind of huge moth we came home to while living on Camp Pendleton. I googled it at the time but can't remember what it was...

Columbia Silkmoth? Saw these beauties in Montana! Got some good pics of them, too!



But to choose one photo? Gah! I've come across too many interesting bugs!
