Bugs

I suppose I have always loved bugs, even before I was given "The Real Book about Bugs, Insects and Such" when I was nine or ten years old. Now I am not such a lover of mosquito bites, seeing a palmetto bug nervously scoot across the ceiling, slimy slugs or those nasty no-see-ums, but bugs are fascinating living things that are necessary to our survival on planet earth. So really...they are our friends. Here are some pictures I took a little while ago on a bug safari in the back yard.

Rainbow Wings here was a tiny fluttery thing on a mint flower.

Always glad to see bees at work.
A black speck on a leaf turned out to be this fella.
