So Lionel and I upgraded to the Nikon D80 camera a few weeks ago with Linda and Charles’ help and we’ve really been enjoying it! I have some pictures of my greenhouse assembly to post, along with a big backlog of pictures from the Toshiba, but in the meantime I thought I would share these cool bug shots. THE CAMERA IS INSANE!!! If you look at the large version of the picture you can actually see the little hairs on it’s body!!
I’m not sure what kind of beetle this is but we see him or her every now and then on our patio, it sticks around for a few days, and then goes away for another month or two. Despite the long seven-story climb it never comes inside our house even though we leave the patio door open all the time. It likes to stay by the patio glass. When I saw it again I just had to take a picture! My attempts at documenting it with the Toshiba have been laughable and in no way as cool as these!
