~ The Boxelder Bug ~ by tizjezzme
Open full image in new tabDescription
I was surprised to see how clear this turned out. It's pretty good, FOR ME! lol Anyway, this is your typical Boxelder Bug - photo taken on a pine tree out in the front yard. These things are found by the millions around here. They cover trees and homes all over, and in the Fall, can find ways inside the house, but luckily do no damage. They're just PESTS. :) Anyway, I can't believe it's Friday already; the week (my LIFE) is flying by! I wish I could somehow just slow it down. jeezz.. Have a great day -- and wonderful weekend! It's feeling like Summer here now,FINALLY! :) Thanks for stopping & for your time & comments. Hugs, Shari

Excellent capture Shari! I agree with Piet - the lines drawn by the pine needles draws the eye to the bug!! Hugs, Carin :)

A really nice mini-portrait! When I was a kid we had a big Boxelder tree, always covered with the Boxelder bugs. To me they are just like lightning bugs with the lights off.

Pat yourself on the back. They are so small and they seem to vibrate even when not in motion. This is a really clean shot and you should feel great about it!

Supremely super macro of the insect amidst the fronds and floral whatnot in this shot, young lady! Well, the Boxelder Bug may be commonplace, typical and ubiquitous to you, Sharilyn, but I'd never even seen or heard of the bugger before! And, as for life flying by...it feels like I'm in a time warp the way the days gallop along. Quite a sobering impact when one is as ancient as I am. And, your summer may be just beginning, but ours started late last April, with a series of oppressive heat waves I can gladly do without. In fact, it was in the upper 90s fahrenheit around here today. Relief promised by Monday.
