Show us your unusual bugs!

December 17th, 2010
someone just posted a link to a beautiful golden orb web spider photo, and it made me think of how i have sort of acquired an affinity for spiders since i have started photographing everything around me. i was always so creeped out by them, but now can see their intriguing beauty...well, some of them. anywho, i found this guy below, and would love to see your unusual bug photos that you have captured...

At the moment they are waging a war against the various armies and soon the full size humanoids ...



One who knew to leave before the war ...



An amazingly beautiful spider who when cranky gets a red stripe ...

@clarissajohal Yes, those pink hoppers are very rare and I am still hoping to spot one!
December 18th, 2010
@clarissajohal I am glad to see you found the pinkhopper in full bloom, they only bloom under the green sky of the second moon for a few moments... very rare find indeed...
