well i found another interesting bug today. i was walking n my patio and i saw alittle anthill type theing except the whole was alot bigger. so i decided to investigate. i flipped of a brick that the hole was ight next too and a chunk of dirt came up. under it was some sort of burrowing bee. i accidently injured it when trying to excavate it out with a stick. :cry:. it couldnt fly anymore. i got some pics of it for you guys to see though.

this one is alittle bit blurry. notice how awesome looking the eyes are!


i like the black and white stripes too.


here it is outide of its hole:


i was gettin a little too close for my crappy camers macro. so they are alittle blurry. but theres a good enough amount of detail.

and here are my little friends, while im posting. they are getting so big! the order goes : Beauty; the Pink Zebra Beuty, Death; the Green Bottle Blue, Hun; the one i dont know the common name for, and Nina; the Red Leg.


<look at how fat that abdomen is! she just took a cricket that was as big as her. i was proud of her. and thats a squashed penny from disneyland.
