Feeling a little bit Buggy...

I decided Sunday morning I would shoot bugs as the wildflowers are pretty much gone. We need rain and we need it bad. So here are some bugs and a few blooms thrown in just for good measure...


Do you ever feel like your being watched?

Fuzzy Wuzzy...

Tussock Moth Caterpillar

Isn't he gorgeous, I loved the colors

I was walking around the Big Oak Tree looking for bugs on the bark. Michael walked over and asked me what I was doing and I told him. He walked around the tree and said "Mom there are no bugs." I kept walking and pretty soon I called Michael over and said see there are too bugs, you just have to look!

Trying to hide in a crevice...
~




Sow bug, rolly polly, pill bug...whatever you want to call it they're fun.

Michael loves playing with them and I remember playing with them as a child too!
~




Do you see it...

I was actually taking a photo of the dandelion puff and didn't see the bug until I pulled it up on my computer. I love using my Macro lens, it's a whole different world to explore!
~


Bloom...but a bug was here, see the chewed up leaf?
~




~




Creepy Crawly floating on a line of silk...
~




I think he was trying to do toe touches, wish I could do that!
~




Grasshoppers everywhere I looked....
~




~




Caterpillar, not sure what it is but it looks painful
~



And yet another grasshopper
~




A closer look and it looks like an alien from outer space...

I can see a horror film here.
~


Moth and itty bitty...
~




This Grasshopper found a bridge...
~




Hmmm an ant...
~



It was tiny but the color caught my eye...some type of egg, etc.
~




No bugs here just a puff...

~


Okay he's not a bug but an arachnid and there is over 4,000 species of Arachnid in North Amercia...
~




And yep here's another Grasshopper...I told you they were all over.
~




A bud fix'in to bloom....
~




Treehopper...I loved his wings
~




~




I was taking a photo of the flower but there is a spider there...
~




Taking a bath or drinking water?
~

Well that was my buggy photos hope you enjoyed exploring another world with me!

Have a great week!

Cool photos, but I really wish you would name all 4,000+ arachnid species! Oh well. Love the picture of the fuzzy thing doing toe-touches!
