We have been pretty busy at work lately, but I have started getting in the habit of taking that camera out of the case again and carrying it with me in the woods. Turns out it does no good in its bag all day, duh.

Next is my all time favorite, the horse fly. I dream of working on them again…sigh.

I totally pancaked a snapping turtle on the way to work last week…but then found another one in the woods laying eggs in the sand and figured I would redeem myself with a nice picture of it:

And just in case you thought that turtle picture was not “buggy” enough for this post, I dare you to take a closer look above the right eye….

Thats right, while the female was busy laying her eggs another female (mosquito) was getting a quick bite because without a blood meal she cannot lay her eggs either. Bet you didn’t know some blood-feeders could get a meal from a reptile.

Hopefully this will be the start of a good season of buggin’.
