Bugs

Bugs:


Over the past few days I have found a nice aera to take photo's just down the road from my place.


A large number of bugs and spiders to photograph.



Start with the green vegetable shield bug (Nezara viridula) This species come when fully grown are a boring green, but while they are juveniles (nymphs) they come in a lovely range of colours and patterns as photos below show.

Sadly I havent photographed all the different ones I have come across down there, but I have a few show I thought id show them below. only 2 species here Male and Female and then a large more orange colour female.

About Me

My Photo
Hello Everyone! I’m Bryce McQuillan and I’m currently 22 . . . Love wildlife and SPIDERS Cheers for checking out my blog I hope you enjoy looking at it I guess I should probably write a little bit about myself here Well I love photography! Mostly macro and wildlife, as you get to see things you don't normally see with the naked eye! Sadly I don’t have the right gear for a lot of wildlife photos but I do try with what I have! My other huge interest/hobby is tricking . . . what is tricking? Good question, Tricking is a sport combining Gymnastics, break dancing and martial arts in one, its more free style allowing you to add your own taste to it, and bring your own moves and tricks into it! It’s not a competitive sport what makes it fun! So between the 2 hobbies it keeps me rather busy and active! I guess my dream job would be to be a free lance wildlife photographer travelling the world photographing wildlife and bugs. Feel free to contact me: spidermanbryce2006@hotmail.com Always keen to meet new people! [IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1361/786047138_3ec3d6587f.jpg[/IMG]
