I saw this at work, on my phone. Now that I'm home and have it on the PC, it is much more terrifying.

Great capture Peter!

Thank you very much David. This sort of thing is happening 100's of times a day in each house backyard. Glad I am not a fly !!!

Bark beetle tunnels on a piece of firewood. (Sorry the beetles aren't there. They've moved on to another job site.)

Not sure what these are - an early stage of a bug of some kind? There were lots of them feeding on a thistle head.

This rather large specimen (2.5 to 3 inches) landed on the ceiling of our covered patio trying to get out the wicked winds we are experiencing today.

jacamar those are assassin bug nymphs.

If any of you in the USA aren't sure what your bug/insect is, here's a nice guide to help you ID them.
