Dutch goes the Photo!

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Bugs

·

Welcome to Week 65 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.

Last week, I went for a highbrow challenge in going with history and was blessed by an amazing array of responses that informed, touched and truly were a pleasure to read and view.  So this week, I’m taking the low road!

This week’s theme is Bugs!  Creepy, crawly, beautiful or inspiring, bring them all!  Of course, no challenge would be in this list, unless you could take a very different view of it…

I’m very much looking forward to seeing those wonderful bugs of all varieties, but I am also very curious to find what alternate takes will show up for this week’s theme….

Surprise, entertain, fill with wonder, awe or horror!  Have fun with this one!

This is a little item to get you in a beatific mood…

Giant Swallowtail

This gorgeous creature graced me with its presence during a trip to a butterfly enclosure.  Bugs can be beautiful and inspiring (I hope!)

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

So, share what has been bugging you!

    Frank, I know I am being pedantic, but butterflies are not bugs. I am reminded by my daughter that not all insects are bugs but all bugs are insects. It will be interesting to see how this challenge is interpreted.

    Hi Frank, I thought this was going to be tasking for me as I didn’t really have the photos for this week’s theme (Bugs). But I got lucky this morning as some insects/bee played into my hands. So here is my presentation for this week. And now, I will try to capture just any scene because you never know the surprises that could come from this challenge. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂

        I’ve not had my phone with me while pruning in my garden, though I’ve seen many true bugs — though I have plenty of images of the butterflies and bees buzzing in my garden 🙂 {True Bugs are in the Hemiptera, including cicada, stink bugs, aphids, but not insects like bees (Hymenoptera), butterflies (Lepidoptera), etc.} Not to split hairs, but as a studied bilogist……

        Ha! Yes, you are absolutely right, as I stretched the definition well beyond its natural boundaries 🙂 In penance, I posted a true bug for the round up (I’m not sure bugs mind round up, as it should only kill weeds 🙂 )

    Lots of cool entries his week. Lots of butterflies. I’m struggling to find a suitable subject. It’s rained most of the week including this morning. No insects to be found. I may post something from my catalog.

      I can relate, as being on the road for the week has left me zero time to get a camera in my hands. Hopefully, I’ll have some time this weekend.

        New Jersey seems to have its own microclimate. We get some days typical of the heat and humidity of summer and some days typical of the cool wet of spring. I’m thinking I need new weatherproofed kit. 🙂
