While clipping our nasty, uncontrollable forsythia hedges today, I kept coming across all kinds of amazing insects. I have a real love of all things buggy, so I thought I'd share. (And please pardon some of the sub-par photos - my camera is nothing fancy so it's limited on the macro setting.)

| This was very close to the cicada. I think it had just emerged! |
 |
| I'd like to think this preying mantis is one that I rescued. I found 6 or 7 of them in our bathroom about a week ago... |
 |
| Not the best photo, but tons of fireflies resting on the leaves. |
 |
| Check out this critter - it looks a lot like a firefly, but look again. See how the head sticks out? I think this is a kind of soldier beetle. |
 |
| This little beauty was resting in the weeds. |
 |
| I love a good hairy spider! This one was on the prowl on our shed door. |
 |
| Don't know what this fly is, but I've seen them before. I'm going to try and look it up. |
