Bug on Yarrow

Posted by Earnest (Oklahoma, United States) on 26 June 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

We often use the generic term bug for any insects, spiders, etc. entomologists use the term bug specifically. The insect pictured is a true bug. Homely isn't he?

I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!

I'd say he's probably quite handsome to the ladies of his species, and a fine looking guy in this shot. Very nice.

@Eric Fry: Actually I was a bit unhappy with this one because it is over-cropped but I left is up....

A creepy bug... very good macro, you must have been pretty close ?

In the immortal words of Rod Serling, "Consider, if you will..."

1. If there isn't any pixelllation, then it isn't overcropped.

2. If it is flying in my face/buzzing around my head/crawling on my skin, AND, it goes crunch/pop/squish when I smash it, then it is a true bug!

Have a great day, my friend!
