Strange Stinging Tail Insect

Found this strange little black insect running around in my house. It has some kind of sting in it's tail. When I attempted to pick this insect up in order to put it outside it lifts it's tail up and trys to sting me! Similar to the action a scorpion uses when attacking. I caught him in a jar and escorted him out the building.

Feed Me Moth Newborn

A moth literally minutes after coming out of the cocoon for the first time. After a while I gave the moth a bit of an apple to lick on and he loved it! I do have some pictures of that. I'll try to find them and get them posted on this blog at some point.

Purple Flower With A Little Bug

Just a quick image of a purple flower with a little black bug inside. Looks like a tiny tiny beetle of some kind. This picture was taken with a Samsung U-CA5. Quite an old camera today.

Caterpillars Having Their Lunch

Caterpillars Having Their Lunch. This is some kind of species of Yellow Daisy Bush, and these caterpillars can't get enough of it. Some of these bushes are literally covered in them. I'm not sure if these orange and black ringed caterpillars feed exclusively on this plant, but every bush is being devoured by them.

Lady Friend

Quick image of a Ladybird on a wooden log. This picture was taken with a Samsung UCA 5. Considering that this camera is now fairly old, and only 5MP, it can usually manage to take a good picture. It's especially good in auto mode with close up subjects. Definitely better than the Samsung WB500 where Macro is concerned. And that's impressive when you take into consideration the age difference between the two. The S.H.D lens on the UCA 5 is great for close ups.

Buttercup Flower With A Fly

A buttercup flower being harrassed by a fly. Do flys collect pollen, I don't think so. Maybe he's lost something in there..
