One easy afternoon sometime ago, I decided to have a quick look around our backyard garden. Usually, these are the times when I encounter great subjects for stills so I was hoping for one.
Then to my surprise, I found these little creatures getting comfortable by an oak log among the green vines and whatnot. As far as my quick research was concerned, these are called Eastern Boxelder Bugs. They don't do any real harm other than they're a nuisance and can be annoying if they invade your home. But they haven't gotten to that extent for me yet.
While I was trying to take my shots, I was very careful not to disturb their activity. I rarely encounter mating insects which are fixed in one place so this was a vital shot for me. I took a couple and this was one of my best.
