Jeremiah has caught the bug photography… uh… bug. Here’s a stink bug out on his lawn.

Lots of interesting bits on a stink bug. I’m always intrigued by their head shape. I keep expecting to see two tiny little eyes up at the front, and then I notice the huge bulging blobs down by his shoulders and realize that if those are his eyes, then what I thought of as the head was really just his big freaking nose.

Okay, that’s gonna give me nightmares.

    The day that I took this photo, I would have sworn that we were going to have a stink bug infestation, because in the course of an hour I removed something like 8 or 9 from my house.

    It turned out that the only “infestation” we had was ladybugs, but who knows what’s going on there, now that I’ve moved out and the weather’s nice?

    There were so many odd bug things going on at that place that I’m REALLY glad we moved before the weather got nicer.

    Seriously? I always thought that was his head, too, not just his nose! Cool!

    Hi! I just wanted to add a comment here.

    No, I don’t have a reason. I’m tired, bored, and it amuses me.

    What?
