This hemipteran was guarding a bit of cholla, I liked the way it's back end and antennae blended in so well; Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico; f 4.0 1/650 @ 16.20 Macro; Cropped and enhanced in Photoshop; Feedback greatly appreciated!

Pamela K 		  Thanks, Jill. I really appreciate your coming to find all my shots! Is there some way I could easily find the ones you enter? I haven't been able to watch all the new entries....

I took this picture just the other day of a bug. I'm wondering if its the same kind as the one in your photo.

Pamela K 		  Not the same species, but definitely in the same order: Hemiptera, meaning "half wing" because half of their upper wing is leathery and half membranous. These are often called the "true bugs" so Bug is a good description.

I don't know how to identify them to species or even family, but I'm taking an Entomology course this fall, so maybe I'll be able to tell you more later.

BetterPhoto Member 		  Are you interested in going into the Entomology feild, or are you just takin the course for the knowledge? I have been interested in Entomology my entire life, well, since I was 3, don't remember much about what I thought before that :P. I'm 16 and have been interested in photography for about 3 years now, tty soon,

P.S. wonderful shot, grew up in AZ, I just moved out here to Oahu, Hawaii early in '05, so I'm familiar with the little guy in your picture
