Perfect picture, plus it's fun seeing one of my enemies in dire straits.

Poor aphid, he's so cute. Giant Tuscan Death Beetle!™ (Note retro-chic vintage Nokia handset for scale) I've heard these like to crawl up girls' dresses sneakily until they strike.

I would have thought that handset could give you quite a thrill.

Never heard of a phone crawling up a girl's dress before -- yikes!
Love that bug's eye view of the ladybug, Kerouac.

This is a wild rose gall. Inside each of these little spiny balls is a wasp larva, just biding his time.

These guys hearken back to the ladybug/bird photos on this page. We have terrible aphids on a fruit tree and my husband is spraying the bejeezus out of it. Unfortunately, he's been spraying all of these benificial larvae as well.

I would be fascinated to know the evolutionary reason for the green spot on the wings.

That bug is eyeing his lunch with greed! Very cool composition, Amboseli.

Great bug -- they are becoming quite rare in so many places due to pesticides. You can even take a long summer road trip in Europe these days and not get your windscreen plastered with dead bugs.
