Believe it or not, these are all the the same species of Ladybird. They are the notoriously invasive Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia Axyridis, the most invasive ladybird on earth. It is also known as the Multicoloured Asian Ladybird and the Halloween Ladybird. It has a very variable appearance, which can make it difficult to tell apart from our native ladybirds. The harlequin ladybird was introduced to North America in 1988, where it is now the most widespread ladybird species on the continent. It has already invaded much of northwestern Europe, and arrived in Britain in the summer of 2004. I photographed all these variants on my runner bean plants, in South London, where fortunately for the ladybirds, but not for me, there is a large supply of black aphids.

Taken at Lal Lal Victoria Australia / These ants have bitten me more than once and landed me in casualty more than once as well, i am one of those with allergies to them. / I caught this one dragging a huge blow flow across our decking, there strength matches their bite…the bite burns like blazes and the area swells to the extent that if it bit your toe, you dont know what your foot looks like anymore…and they hurt like nothing else. / they have killed people. Jumping jack, bull ants and jumping ants are members of the Myrmecia genus – a primitive group of ants found only in Australia and New Calendonia. There are 89 species within this group. Professor Simon Brown from the Australian Ant Venom Allergy Study (AAVAS) says the three main species of ants that cause anaphylactic reactions in Australia are: Jack jumper, hopper ant, jumping jack – M. pilosula species complex (pictured left) – There are at least five different species located in Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, ACT, NSW (from the Snowy Mountains up to Armidale in northern NSW) and Western Australia. This group is responsible for about 90 per cent of anaphylaxis in Australia, particularly in Tasmania. Researchers from the AAVAS have developed a highly effective desensitisation treatment for people allergic to the M. pilosula species found in Tasmania. Common bull ant – there are at least four to five different species including M. forficata (found in Tasmania, Victoria, NSW), M. gratiosa (Perth WA) and M. pyriformis (found in Victoria, South Australia and NSW). Jumping ant – M. nigrocincta – can be found in SE Queensland and northern NSW. There are also at least two other species of jumper ants known to cause anaphylaxis in Western Australia, including M. ludlowi. / Other types of ants that can cause an anaphylactic reaction include greenhead ants – Rhytidoponera metallica – and the imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, both found in Queensland. taken from the internet Featured in Rural around the globe group March 09. / Featured in Happy Haven March 09

This fly was tiny, there was a dead adult one on the same stem that was twice the size of this one. This little chap was at the end on a dandelion type plant bud. The little chap’s body wasn’t much bigger than 2mm. Anyway tried to get a macro shot of it using my Nikon D40 55-200mm lens with clip on macro conversion lens. I rather liked how his wings shimmer. The lens has very limited focal area. I took loads of pictures of a dead bee too, but the amount in focus (the eye area) was far too limited to take a decent image. LOL another 400 card sales and perhaps I can afford a proper macro lens hahaha!!!!

ACRYLIC ART CALENDARS CARDS POETRY PHOTOGRAPHY – ANIMALS PHOTOGRAPHY -CANDID SHOTS PHOTOGRAPHY – CATS AND DOGS PHOTOGRAPHY – CONTEMPORARY WORK PHOTOGRAPHY – FLOWERS PHOTOGRAPHY – INSECTS PHOTOGRAPHY – TRADITIONALLY TURKISH PHOTOGRAPHY – TREE AND TREE PARTS T-SHİRTS Beetles are the group of insects with the largest number of known species. They are classified in the order Coleoptera (pronounced /ˌkoʊliˈɔptərə/; from Greek κολεός, koleos, “sheath”; and πτερόν, pteron, “wing”, thus “sheathed wing”), which contains more described species than in any other order in the animal kingdom, constituting about 25% of all known life-forms. 40% of all described insect species are beetles (about 350,000 species, and new species are frequently discovered. Estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million. Beetles can be found in almost all habitats, but are not known to occur in the sea or in the polar regions. They interact with their ecosystems in several ways. They often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are prey of various animals including birds and mammals. Certain species are agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata, the boll weevil Anthonomus grandis, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, and the mungbean or cowpea beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, while other species of beetles are important controls of agricultural pests. For example, beetles in the family Coccinellidae (“ladybirds” or “ladybugs”) consume aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Fron Wikipedia here / Buprestidae is a family of beetles, known as jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles because of their glossy iridescent colors. The family is among the largest of the beetles, with some 15,000 species known in 450 genera. The larger and more spectacularly colored jewel beetles are highly prized by insect collectors. In Turkey they are considered a pest and have historically caused crop loss caused in the Pistachio plantations of the Gazentiep More images can be seen here PHOTOGRAPHY: INSECTS ARACHNIDS / BEETLES / COCKCHAFER / FLIES / GRASSHOPPER/LOCUSTS / HONEY BEES / MANTIS / WASP /
