Bloody Net-winged Beetle

I was lucky to capture two shots of my prize Bloody Net-winged Beetle as he was leaving. Canon 7D, 24-70mm lens with 500D close-up filter. ISO 400, 1/1000th sec at f/5.6

Bug Eggs

This is the time of year to be looking for bugs and bug eggs….if that interests you, of course! These eggs were along a spine of my Christmas Cholla which should tell you how small they are. I only noticed them because I was using a Macro lens with an extension tube. (I was hand holding so they aren’t very sharp). Click on BUGGUIDE to see hundreds of insect egg photos. I found a couple that looked similar (Stink Bug) but I have no clue. Looking at all the eggs makes me want to find more!
