Not sure if I'll put this in the monthly challenge thing or not, but while I was sitting on a leaf today this bug stopped by for a portrait.

Comments and constructive critiques are welcome.

All I know is I don't think I'd like it to get mad at me. Nice shot, BTW.

pretty big damn leaf if you're sitting on it and really big damn bug!! I'll be leaving now....

Anybody know what kind of bug it is? I found like 40 of them on my truck the other day after being parked under a tree for less than an hour. Then today I found one trying to move into my bedroom this afternoon. They are scary little cruds! Magick Michael aka zhounder

I almost forgot! Alpha that is a killer image! The POV is incredible and the color and detail perfect. Notice above I reccognized the little bugger right away! What did you use to catch the little red eyed scrungy...? Magick Michael aka zhounder

Darthius Maulius indeed! LOL! Frickin scary alright!

I am, therefore I create.......

Aiiiieeeeeeee... looks like it's about to pounce on me!!! Kewl shot, but it gives me the hives. Hehe :-) (*

I believe this is a Milkweed bug, but I do not know the proper name for it. I caught it by hand thanks to the cold wheather slowing them down, and the actual size of this dude is approzimately 1/2" in length, so they are not to threatening. Interesting fact... Insects comprise over 80% of all known life forms on earth.

AAaaaaa, it's in my hair, its in my hair!!! ...waitaminute, I got no hair. Anyway, one of the few things I actually hate and scare are bugs. But, gotta admit, damn good image. .n
