Time for some critters this week. And some of them are up close. So I will be joining three memes with these photos:
- Saturday Critters hosted by Eileen.
- Macro Monday 2 hosted by Magical Mystical Teacher and Gemma Wiseman
- I Heart Macro hosted by Laura.
For Saturday’s Critters I give you Bosco, my sister’s ‘beloved dog’. Once bitten by a copperhead he survived with the help of a great vet and the deep pockets of his human dad.
Haven’t a clue as to the genus of this creature. I am naming it bug on blossom! Addendum: it is an assassin bug, good bug, bad bite!
A less than perfectly focused but this is really about having fun and learning shot.
You decide which is macro or critter but just be sure to click the following buttons to visit the memes. I surely appreciate all visitors and comments. Thanks for the stopping in!

Thats a cracking looking bug – and I think they are good from a garden point of view as they eat insects we considers pests. Of course the Assassin Bug just considers them lunch!

I though the animation worked with the bug fairly well. Yes, Bosco is enough on in years to have arthritis in his back. Thanks for returning the visit.
