(Insects and other creepy crawlies)

Yikes!!!

We call this 'Billy the happy moth'.  We can't tell if he is smiling or maybe just licking his chops.  Thank goodness for double paned glass.

 

 

 

Honey bees...maybe not so unusual at first glance...but look at the tools needed to subdue these bees from the wrong side of town.

Looks like this butterfly crash landed in a field

 

 

 

 

Ah...this one found the runway

 

 

 

 

How did we get this dragonfly to pose so still for this shot...Ok, he was dead, but still, very willing to pose...

 

 

 

Ok, here is a live one...Blur and everything

 

 

 

Ever hear the buzzing of locusts (cicadas)  during the summers, sometimes that is all you can hear in Nebraska because they are so loud...well to the right is the musician...

 

 

 

 

Not that common even in Nebraska, but very beautiful when you find one.  The Luna moth...and below is an close up  photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walking sticks...why they like my house so much I will never know...maybe the color suits him.

 

 

 

 

 

Within that burst of color is a green grasshopper.  He certainly knows how to blend in...
