Celebrating Bugs!

Sometimes bugs can be annoying…but they are often intriguing to watch.

Sometimes they are relatively still. Maybe it is a little cool or they are waiting for prey.

The bugs that are loving my zucchini plants way too much are annoying but have a certain beauty as they proliferate and march over the leaves. Note the size variation in this group!

Some bugs are noticeable by the way they move. Water striders sit quietly on the top of the water…only noticed when they suddenly move.

The pollinators are busy on the flowers.

Some bugs are busy creating the next generation.

Spiders are easily disturbed. This one scurried up one of the securing silks of his web to the pipe when I got a little to close trying to take his picture!

The cicada was a little confused. It was on the ground and allowed itself to be gently picked up….eventually flying backup into the trees.
