“The traveller that resolutely follows a rough and winding path will sooner reach the end of his journey than he that is always changing his direction, and wastes the hour of daylight in looking for smoother ground and shorter passages.” Samuel Johnson (English Poet, Critic and Writer. 1709-1784) Sony DSLR-A200 Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500) Aperture: f/5.6 Focal Length: 300 mm South African day-flying moth (Euchromia formosa).

Coeliadinae is a subfamily of the skipper butterfly family (Hesperiidae) and includes the awls and awlets. See comments for caterpillar image.... Pu'er, Yunnan, China

Picasso Bug (Sphaerocoris annulus):This is an insect native to Cameroon, Ivory Coast and the African continent southwards to Zimbabwe and South Africa. The bug's incredibly artistic markings are of course the reason for its quite appropriate common name. Photograph taken by Bart Wursten.

Aggregations of the red and black colored firebugs are ubiquitous under linden trees in Central Europe, where the bugs can reach astounding population densities. While these insects have no impact on humans, their African, Asian, and American relatives, the cotton stainers, are serious agricultural pests of cotton and other Malvaceous plants.
