I love the colors of the crickets in that article. I would be so happy if I could find a pink or lime green cricket in my yard. I'd say that lady has some magical goings-on happening in her yard. Taking pictures of bugs is one of my hobbies. I just love to get up in their faces and then examine them with macro shots. Speaking of colors, here's an almost all orange moth I snapped a pic of this spring:  Also, pretty sure this is a wasp? I can see the stinger, but I love the pink and green shinning on the wings:  But what is really remarkable is what I saw in August of this year. Two bugs that I saw that just about defy explanation........ I wish I had my camera. They were of a coloring and size that I have not seen in my many years here on earth. Also, I saw an albino moth this summer. Pure white. Well anyway...... love the article on the crickets. Neato. :nod:

Great shots, Sily. I have been studying insects for most of my life. One of the awesome insects we have here are Cicada Killers. The females burrow long tunnels in the sandy soil, lay an egg while backed into the tunnel backwards and deposit a cicada for the hatched larva to eat. The mound of soil at the entrance can be surprisingly large. They patrol their territories all summer and eat lots of nectar. They love our garden. http://insects.tamu.edu/images/insects/common/images/cd-43-c-txt/cimg331.html

Neat Polly. Do you have any pics of insects from your garden you can post? I'd love to see some. The link you posted... the design in black is cool, on the insect's back. Sorry to go back to the cell phone issue I kinda went off on the other day, but ..... I think it would be so great if everyone turned off their cell phones, laid down in the grass and looked for bugs.  One more pic, cuz I love me some bugs.... It was a dewy morning when I took this one - I love the dew/wetness on the wings:

Sily, I may be able to post a pic of my favorite spider tomorrow. I'll have to scan it on the other PC's printer in the house and send it in an email to my PC. This spider builds a zipper in its web. I have photos I took of insects and arachnids but they are not digital so give me some time and I will see what I can do. :-) Last edited on Thu Sep 13th, 2007 02:32 am by Polly |

Eww...bugs are gross! You two would be wonderful with my one daughter. She has been 'into' bugs since she was a little girl. She, also, has some awesome pictures of bugs. Again, I say EWWW....

I'd love to see it, if you can get to it. :nod: I want to post a link to a lady that has taken some great pictures, but I'm not on my computer now, where I have the link bookmarked. Hopefully I can get to my computer tonight. I just can't put into words how good her subjects and pictures are.

OooooWeeee!! DT!!! Have you ever seen a tobacco worm? Well technically it's not a worm but a larvae I believe.As a child (8) my mother would collect a quarter from older kids for each head she bit off a tobacco worm.In the '30's that was a nice bit of money for a kid. Oh and check out a hawkmoth if you get a chance! They're pretty common as their larvae is known as the tomato worm.

 I really wish all the mosquitoes would all just shrivel up and die. Anubis and I are tired of being eaten alive by those vampires.

You need bats for the mosquitoes, Dream Time. I can say that I have never been able to think very highly of female mosquitoes and will kill any that come near me. I used to have terrible allergic reactions to the bites when I was younger. Large, hard, incessantly itchy welts would form under my skin at the bite site and would last for many days.

Well, if you want to send some bats my way, I'll take them. We don't have any around here.

I am home, I am on my own 'puter, and I can't find that dern bookmark. I've been through my whole history for the last week and I bookmarked everything else in the world, but that lady's site. Ahhhhh well.  They were some great pics.

Ya know William, that part about falling into an ant hill is not as far-fetched as it may sound. I remember when my sister and I were little and playing outside, she did sit in a red ant hill. Boy did she cry and did I laugh.

Polly, Got to show you this pic I took last night. It's a spider that had spun a web right to the left of my front door. I'll just post the link because I believe some people don't like these types of pics. :eek: Anyone that clicks does so at their own risk... hehe.

Sily, I was thinking about you last night because I promised that pic and have failed to deliver so far. I have been side-tracked too many times this week. Do you know what kind of spider it is? Great shot btw. :-)

Here, Sily. I may never get around to posting the picture but this is a nice web page. We have a few of these in the yard. One is in my mound of zinnias and the other is in the raspberry canes. They are quite striking. http://home.att.net/~larvalbugrex/argiope.html

Polly wrote: Do you know what kind of spider it is? I don't know what kind of spider, but I believe if it bit me, I woulld cry. :crybaby: It was about an inch long, kind of reddish/orange and it has black bands around the legs. I'm going to try and get a better shot tonight and then post the pic to maybe a live journal group for identification. I just checked and the web is still outside my door. Also, I think it's so smart to put the web by the porch light because it was attracting all the bugs last night. The dern wind was blowing the web back and forth last night making it very hard to focus, but the spider pretty much just sat still for me to take a pic. I told it "Smile, I'm gonna make you a star on the Internets". It was happy to sit there rubbing it's legs together waiting for a bug to fly in but as soon as a bug got stuck... all bets were off on picture-posing.. and Mr./Mrs. Spider scurried over to the bug and started eating. If I can get an ID on the spider I'll let you know. I'll just be sure not to post to an arachnaphobia group. :evil: Oh.... please don't worry about not posting the pic. I think in the dogs thread I said I'd post pics of my dogs and that was probably 6 months ago. I still haven't gotten around to it.
