Now That's What I Call Christmas I & II !

Oooh, Look at Me, I'm So Pretty

This one couldn't get enough of the camera

They Mostly Come at Night, Mostly

This is in fact not an alien but a spider that built a web from the grass thatch roof of our porch to the bushes, and scared the crap out of me all day long.
Extra points if you get the movie reference.

Grrrr

This is a Tiger Butterfly. That's a lie. I don't know the names of all these Central American bugs.

Check Out the Bod on that One

This butterfly's body was the size of an adult's thumb.
It was quite uncooperative in our photo shoot, refusing to stand still.
All ego

Moth the Size of a...

This moth was the size of a cat -- if that cat were about four inches wide or so.

Monteverde Flier

This was one of the prettier bugs to greet us during our trip to the rain forest. It sat on the inside of our hotel window while other bugs in our room were too fast for photographing.

Brooklyn Bugs Goes to Costa Rica...

These bugs not from my apartment, but once you get started taking photos of things you see moving out of the corner of your eye, it's hard to stop--even on vacation.

  

Cape May Creeper

This was in the tub to welcome us to our Cape May weekend rental:

The King Near The Boss

This fine Burger King specimen was on Route 9 in New Jersey [9/3/10]. (Not in my apartment, but...whatever.)

Bradysia coprophila

Fungus Fly. When people have fruit flies, usually they actually have these. They hatch out of potting soil when it is over-watered. Thanks Home Depot dirt.
