Hello ladies

By Colin Devroe | Published: October 20, 2009
After going outside it appears there are, and this isn’t an actual head count just a best guess, hundreds of thousands of lady bugs swarming around our apartment building alone. Due to other friends reporting the same in their area I’m calling it a plague.

Cicada skins

By Colin Devroe | Published: September 1, 2009
After climbing a tree at Lehigh University in an attempt to capture a cicada I ended up finding several skins left on a tree at about eye level. Go figure. There is tons of information on Cicadas on Wikipedia. Worth perusing.

Eliza spotted this little guy yesterday. Left him alone. I have enough pictures of cross orbweaver spiders.

A magnified mosquito

By Colin Devroe | Published: July 9, 2009
This little guy put a pretty good suckin’ on my hand before I figured out he was in the house. So I trapped him under my magnifying glass for a few hours before using my junk-store-salvaged microscope to look at him up close and personal.

Flying away

By Colin Devroe | Published: May 20, 2009
(click to zoom) Taken: May 7, 2009 in Mayfield, Pennsylvania while on a walk with Eliza. Photographing these bees was a neat experience because I would get as far into the tree as I could, and I would hear a constant bzzzz until I found the bee that was closest to me to shoot.
