I was out doing some work in the yard today... mowing the lawn, cutting down weeds and bamboo, and various other tasks. I noticed this little guy on a flower and he seemed totally content with me taking a few pics.

That's a bush katydid! They're usually really hard to find because they hide in trees and bushes, where they look like just another leaf.

Really nice picture, do you have experience with macro photography?

My digital camera has two macro settings on it and I use them often with insect photography. I guess that has given me some experience. I could do wonders with a Canon Rebel, but I can't afford one.

@spyguy: Wow that is a ton of stuff to look at! Awesome!

That is some amazing artwork SpyGuy. You like bicycle parts, don't you.

Dare I say it...? Your scorpion has an extra pair of legs; they have 8 legs but the front two are modified into claws. And the Rose is actually a tulip.

But that's nitpicking; it's great work.

@Jack: Wow, a fellow hobby insect photographer. If you have more pictures I'd be interested in seeing them.

You can actually do some incredible stuff with regular point and shoot cameras these days. I use a Canon PowerShot A720IS with a close-up lens, and I am quite pleased with it. Except when I want to photograph a bug indoors, or when I'm photographing something really tiny. Then I wish I had a digital SLR with a ring flash.

Clickbeetle: This weeks Sports Illustrated Magazine has a really good pic of a praying mantis that was at some baseball stadium. I could probably post a pic of it, or you could just pick it up at a store.

Some fellow i saw close from my vacation's house. (Sorry for bad quality. That's my Macbook's integrated webcam.)

I am guessing female Lucanus cervus (stag beetle) but that's pretty small for one.

I tried to think of, if they where real, what theyre back story would be like and how they ended up like that.

lol at matilda, it looks like jesus with a mutant blue beaver costume...

Lol, my idea for her story was:
Matilda was cursed at a young age, growing up would make her ugly.
Simple :P

sir killalot reminds me of the marine strogg in quake2

edit: fixed it
double edit: skalot is probably from when the strogg ran out of guns.

Don't call him the guy with the claw hand, call him Sir Killalot.

I would've inserted Tool's pic here, but that's too offensive.

Looks more of a vestigial tail to me. Besides, I don't know which side is facing front. :P
