FOTD #10: Roses with a Bug

This month, I’ve picked a theme of roses. Granted, it’s not the main season for roses, that would be April, in California. They are still nice here in Prescott. I like this challenge, even though I’m doing others, I’ll try not to intermingle them so much so you won’t have to plow through stories to see the flowers.

  • Single flowers
  • Buds
  • Multiple flowers
  • Bouquet
  • Flower fields
  • Wildflowers
  • Tree or bush blossoms
  • Autumn leaves
  • Spring leaves
  • Decorative Cabbage
  • Berries

Sleuthing for Bugs Among Roses

The good thing is that I couldn’t find a single aphid picture. The sad thing is that some bugs are cute when placed against a gorgeous rose. I thought I had more pictures of them. So let’s play “Name that Bug!”

“I shouldn’t even be here!”
Hi! I’m hanging in here until Halloween.
“I’ll be out of your sight in a second.”
“Don’t worry, Bee happy.”
“Ha, ha, ha! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man (in disguise).”
“Roses are yellow, same as this fellow.”

Thanks for playing the Bug Game today at Woodlake Rose Garden.

In November 2020, we sold everything and retired to the mile-high desert of Prescott, AZ. We live less than five miles from the Granite Dells, four lakes, and hundreds of trails with our dog, Kalev, and two cats, Moji and Nutter Butter. Vince’s sister came with us and lives close by. Every day is a new adventure.

    This post is extraordinary in many ways. First, I think they are you very best Rose photos you’ve taken. Next, it is an original idea to photograph bugs on Roses and then feature them in a blog. I’m super impressed!!!

      Thanks Veronica. I love buggy pictures as long as they don’t expose too much of themselves.

      That’s all they eat, so yes. Rose flies, rose pincher thingies, rose spiders and so forth.

      I was just complaining to Bushboy about his, so this is in response. These insects are not showing off their underbellies or legs. 🙂

        It’s not always easy to get pictures of animals or insects.
