An enormous collection of bugs! I have just been here for half an hour and I feel I have just scratched the surface! I will return here often to learn and try to classify the few bugs I catch a picture of. Thanks for sharing! Ciao, Ragnar

Nursery stores sell a solution to spray on your plants to kill scales, or you can make a mixture of rubbing alcohol and soap.

So how do you Kill these Scales - Coccoidea on my house plants?

Do you know a lot about bugs? If so please help!!! Can cockroaches fly? We had a strange (for me icky) creature fly into our house the other night. My boyfriend had a first hand look at it, because I was running away. He claimed it looked like a cockroach and it made a hissing sound at him when he gathered it in a napkin to throw it back outside. Could it have been a cicada? Is there any possibility of confusing the two? We live in Denver Colorado and I've recently heard the loud call of Cicadas in the trees. I've also read that Cicada will make a warning sound when threatened. Pleaase help! Thanks and cool photos. :) -Kristy

Excellent gallery! What lens did you use? Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro?

We call the bug in your plant bug representative photo a stink bug as well. A very far ranging series of photos.
