Yet More Insects II

[danthebugman]

That time of year again when I post up more insect pics :grin:.

And a couple not so insect-like subjects...

Can you find it?? ^

Hope you enjoyed :tiphat:. I'm sure there'll be more later in the summer.

Very cool as always, Dan....Thanks for sharing your hobby

So, the second to last pic....Are those bumps for camouflage purposes?

Then you should buy that mama a tiny stroller....Must suck to have to carry babies on your back like that....

The one bug I HATE is the Jerusalem Cricket. Scared the $h!t out of me when I was a kid and I still carry the fear with me today at almost 40. I don't believe they are in Indiana but it's one ugly ass bug.

They remind me of Sun Spiders...

Those freak me out a little!

10 legged freak. I see the connection though, in Mexico that and the Jerusalem Cricket are both called Nina de la Tierra

Hey Dan...when I lived in the California High Desert, I always saw a fuzzy bug burrowing in the dirt. Looked like a bee without wings but I can't find anything on it. Does that sound like something you know of?

 

[indyrob]

Nevermind...google had the answer.

 

[danthebugman]

Yep, Velvet Wasps. The ones we have around here are a pretty red and black color. Locally they go by the name "cow killers"...

Note the very large, painful stinger!

*shivers* Sorry Dan, I hate bugs, lol.


Yet... I went into a thread with pics of them. Kind of like watching a scary movie, lol.

dude, i LOVE how you pull the beauty out of something people usually write off as loathsome. keep it up, it is always good to see things through different eyes. or multiple sets of eyes. o)
