Do you consider bug and insect to be one and the same?

reply to this comment

David W. May 2, 2008, 10:49pm EDT

The bugs down here eat you before you can snap the camera lens.

☀ Aunt Shanny May 2, 2008, 10:58pm EDT

Bug and insect are one and the same here, Marianne.

Have fun :)

Interesting.

Jennifer N. May 3, 2008, 1:12am EDT

I might have to use old photos. There's still no real life here. Trees are struggling to bud and I've only seen a few ladybugs out for bugs.

Jennifer N. May 3, 2008, 1:13am EDT

Oh, and some mosquitoes, lol.

We had planned to hike tomorrow but the rain made that impossible. :(

I will try my best! I have one question...how do you get them to pose for you? LOL!!!

reply to this comment

Jennifer N. May 3, 2008, 2:05am EDT

One question.. do you take photo essays?

I have a photo shoot with a grasshopper that it was posing for me for. LOL I'd love to send them in as an essay if possible.

Hmmm. I missed a good shot of a spider just today.

Ruth Luce May 3, 2008, 3:19am EDT

I don't mind most so much, but nor do I go looking round these parts either, if you seek ye shall find. Scorpions, tarantula's, no m'aam, no thank you!!

Karolyn Q. May 3, 2008, 7:47am EDT

I agree with David on the bugs down here. My son and I are like their meals!

These are fantastic Shannon. Wonderful shots.

reply to this comment

☀ Aunt Shanny May 3, 2008, 7:57am EDT

Jennifer, if your photo essay is about bugs, it's acceptable :)

Um, Ruth? Scorpions and spiders aren't insects.

Enjoy, if you dare...

Do butterflies count as bugs? You all KNOW I have some good ones I've taken of butterflies!

☀ Aunt Shanny May 3, 2008, 10:33am EDT

If it has six legs, it's an insect (AKA bug).

Amanda C. May 3, 2008, 3:06pm EDT

I have a few good pics I can use for this!

Stunning photo...what fun! Not sure if I'm too late to play for this week.

I love the grasshopper picture. That's amazing! I think I might actually have a picture for this one. It's not a great picture, but I think it qualifies.

reply to this comment

David Smith May 3, 2008, 11:59pm EDT

Ok, maybe I don't have a picture. A little Wikipedia education reveals that I have snapped a picture of a member of the mollusk family, a slug. Darn. It's a big one too.
