Call the secret service, I'm being bugged. by ladymagpie

Call the secret service, I'm being bugged.

My legs are still sore from all the insect bites after my walk across the fields, so much so that I've smothered my legs in s soothing cream. So just after lunch today I'm sat on my patio with a cold drink and this appeared on the table beside me.

Now I recon the insect world is trying to bug me at the moment, probably because I keep disturbing them out in the countryside. There are only 2 of the famous Beatles still alive today, Ringo and Paul, so I named this one Ringo before I flicked it away onto the wing.

Don't think I've learnt my lesson though, as I did a 2 mile country walk yesterday and another mile across a field with rather long grass today, or is it that I'm just a short ***?

Really is best viewed with the black background.
Looks great on the black background, even creepier than here! Glad you captured it before inviting it to leave.

It does look great on black. Poor you with those bites. Maybe you should consider an alliance for protection from insects!

LOL at your funny caption. I wouldn't want that bug around however. But nice clear shot of it.

Funny title! So sorry you're being so bugged!

Love the POV and capture!!

oh poor Ringo! Hope you didn't hurt him. I'm amused by the English people I know that are afraid of bugs - we have so many here that they are just part of our every day life :) My gorgeous English daughter in law is always on "bug alert" :)
