Bug Buddies on Desert Chicory, 3.27.16
(Okay, maybe they don’t even like each other. Who knows?!)

the way I see the world
Sometimes I notice bugs when I’m shooting. Sometimes I only see them when I see the image on my computer screen. No clue where this one falls … it was too long ago to recall. But here … have this teeny little guy. (And yes, I could have removed him. But I didn’t. I do have another image of this rose without Mr. Bug. )

A friend is thinking of purchasing a print of the bee photo I put up yesterday, and that got me searching for other buggy shots.
I think bugs are awful cute sometimes. Of course much of the time they are munching on the flowers. Ah well. Cute but hungry, I guess. Do click on each image to see them larger.



I don’t know my bugs, so I’ve no clue what this is. It was tiny, I can tell you that. This is half of the actual image, as I cropped it so he can be more easily seen.
Well, okay. Maybe she. I haven’t a clue!
I don’t know what the plant is either. I guess this is a clueless post.
I’m not a fan of wasps, and I do believe that is what this is (someone please correct me if I’m wrong!), but I love to photograph insects. Just because. I knew, too, that he was too busy with the flower to care about bugging me!
I’ve always thought that wasps were good for nothing, but I’ve now read that they DO manage to kill other bad bugs in the garden, so I guess I won’t despise them as much as I used to.
I’ve named the bug on this plant a “skeleton bug”. Agree? Below the full image is a cropped one so you can see the bug more clearly.
