!!!Unruly Bug Photo Contest!!!

[Sage]

Unofficial Unsanctioned and Unruly Bug Photo Contest!

Yesterday I was thinking about doing this and today we went to the Corning Museum of Glass where I found the perfect little prize! It's a small, 2", red-foiled glass ladybug.



I love to group interesting items on tables for visual effect, and will enjoy this one for the next month until I send it to YOU!

Sage's easy eligibility UNrules:

• Anything I might consider a "bug"
• Bugs, beetles, ladybugs, butterflies, damsel & dragonflies, caterpillars, flies, wasps, spiders etc., are welcome, even if you posted them in other threads
• IDs welcomed but not required - it's a PHOTO contest!

See how easy it is? Contest ends midnight OCTOBER 10, 2010
I'll remind you later, and give you a 10 minute warning!

Note: *Do not feel bad if I'm not commenting on the pictures along the way, but know I will be watching you. If you have any questions, ask.

* Cookiecat having rest of teeth out under general anesthesia; Roger having surgery; other issues

This FREE CONTEST is just for FUN, so go have fun catching the flying things, (use fast shutter speeds) and practice macros (A=Aperture>lowest number + macro/flower setting) on the things that hold still for you!

Since this contest is unoffical there will be no certificate but there will be a cute little ladybug! And probably no Sticky cuz I have no authority! ~smile~

Contest ends midnight October 10, 2010

Go have fun and bring me the proof!

Here goes. I found these last month and was ready to break down and buy the ants until.... I saw the price tag. Gag me. I still love them and they're big!!!

[Sage]

OMG! What a fantastic find! Thanks for sharing and I cannot believe you didn't buy the whole lot of them!

Maybe someone on WG could make some similar to those and auction them on WG!!!

Boy Oh Boy! Sage....You're going to have sooooo much fun doing this contest!
Equill Seems like you need to hit a few of those fall art shows!
Green bay botanical garden has a huge plant sale early spring and features quite a few metal artists... Those ants are way cool!

Big gray bugs, mid-size orange ones, and little black ants...

Wow, Ben! You should get a prize for getting the best collection of different bugs in one place! Amazing catch! Are they eating your soybeans?

These bugs aren't unruly, but they are BIG.

Cow peas are actually the bean plants which grow black-eyed peas. They seem to exude some sap at the node where the pods are attached. No damage is done by these insects.
