You should always have a little bokeh...

with your Leaf-footed Bug.

These aren't the cutest insects, but I like their anntennae. :0)

Thank you so much for your comments and faves on my recent pics!!! I have a non-bug pic that I'm going to post in my other album. http://365project.org/cjwhite/my-little-world/2011-09-29 :0)

[Hillary Torrey]

I think they are pretty cool looking!

[Zoe Ferrie]

Cool capture, great bokeh!

[Brandie]

What a neat little buggy!

[Pam Hawkes]

Great capture!

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Darth Vader bug! Amazing close up..his legs look a little bit like crab legs.

[Al Perry]

Yep I have shot a few of those. NIce Pic!

[richard saffold]

i have seen these, but not like this!

[Carolyn White]

@hollandcrew The cool thing about shooting them is they stay still. LOL!

[Michael Elliott]

wow that's wild - nice capture!

[Paul Myers]

But of course. Wonderful focus.

[Nancy Ruder]

I call these "pirate bugs" as they seem so yo ho ho.

[Robert Velten]

This is the genus Leptoglossus, possibly the species fulvicornis

[Carolyn White]

@robv I believe it's acanthocephala terminalis, family coreidae. Does that sound correct?

[Rick Schies]

What a great shot, and a great bug too.

[Trina P Holub]

Cute bug! Love the composition

[Robert Velten]

@cjwhite Could be, I don't have a good sense of scale. That species is huge(~2"), the one I mentioned is about half the size. Now that I look at the full size image the markings do look more like Acanthocephela, just shows I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Bokeh with ANYTHING! Haha You are going to post a NBP? (non bug pic?) Wow, that is amazing! Have to go see that. What percentage of your albums would you say are non bug pics?

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

nice capture and lighting...loving the bokeh as well

[Carolyn White]

@espyetta I started in January, so the first couple of months there are lots of cat pics. LOL! I got the "bug fever" as soon as the flowers started blooming and the insects came out. :0)

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@cjwhite It is going to be weird to have no bugs here soon.

[Mike Schwandner]

great shot

[Anne ❀]

cool capture, nice halloween bug!

[Paula]

Was waiting to see what kind of multi-legged creature you'd come up with today! Wow! i like this guy:)

[Michelle]

Haha is it weird that I actually find it kinda cute in a strange way :)

[Rach_who]

Yep these guys are definitely not the cutest things in the garden but it takes all sorts to make the world go round. Nice shot.
