A bug eating bug...

This bugger was 5" long, thick and mean looking. It wasn't happy about its sunning being disturbed.

I love Praying Mantis! They hang out on my windows at night in the summer. It's a bug buffet and the Gecko's and the Mantis gorge themselves!

Some kind of colorful beetle (order Coleoptera) from VA. I think this is the red milkweed beetle, Tetraopes tetraophthalmus.

Excellent, moe! I really wanted to get some dragon shots over the summer, but everytime I saw one, I never had my camera. Love the closeups!

And that beetle- it sure looks like a milkweed leaf. I have the same milkweed in an earlier picture with the monarch pupa.

Here's the ant picture I love (order Hymenoptera family Formicidae). I use the full-sized picture as my wallpaper.
