This guy was in a dark part of the staircase so I coerced him to climb onto my hand so I could take him to a place with more light. I took him through our apartment and to our back deck where I filmed him sneaking around on the table. He crawled towards me as [...]
I’m aware that there have been a lot of posts to the Digital Bug Box lately, but it’s Summer in North Carolina, and there are a lot of creatures crawling and flying around. This one happens to live in Missouri, and showed a fondness for my in-laws’ minivan. I had to coax him out of [...]
A friend spotted this large moth during a chess game we were playing at Caffe Driade in Chapel Hill. I tried to get a shot that would more accurately show it’s size, but I still think it looks much smaller in the photographs. It must have been about 3 inches long, and it was very [...]
This little worm played dead when he noticed I had taken interest in his movements. As soon as I would bring the camera near him he would freeze. For a long time! This meant I had to hold the camera very still until he started to move again, which explains the camera shake. Last January [...]
I got some great footage with my point-and-shoot on Saturday of a bright red bug in one of our pots on the deck, and a not-so-flattering shot of my cuticle. On a side note, this pot used to have a fern in it until it died sometime last year. Somehow a Morning Glory type of [...]
I don’t really know if this is a male or female beetle, but I sure can relate to him anyway. I actually found this little guy on my bathroom floor. He was upside down, playing dead apparently. I picked him up with some tissue, and he still lay lifeless. I decided to take him outside [...]
Walked out on the deck today to get an idea of how miserable the heat and humidity would be for my run today, and was surprised to find that it was quite pleasant out! I was also surprised to find about 4 dozen little bugs hanging out quietly on a leaf. Although I often photograph [...]
I had a beautiful day today. I spent some time in the woods smoking my pipe, and playing my guitar. (check out my music on Virb) Here’s a picture of a Daddy Long-Legs that was poking around while I was out and about. Click to enlarge so you can see where his legs come out [...]
I wish I had a more clever title for this little post. As you know, I enjoy insects, and have an ongoing series of posts called the “Digital Bug Box.” Well, say hello to this friendly fellow: Want to see my other bugs photos? Moth and a Butterly Digital Bog Box (first post) Found Type [...]
Things I have found lately: I’ve been in North Carolina just under 2 years, and it has become quite clear to me that this state loves burritos! One of my favorite places to pick up a delicious burrito is called Carrburitos. Great name, too! Inside the restaurant is the “Art-O-Mat.” I’ve been thinking of posting [...]
