For a variety of reasons, 2012 was not a very productive year for me in regards to bug photography, but here are a handful of my favorite images that, overall, attracted the most attention in the last twelve months. First the images taken in 2012:
A rose is a rose is a rose is a death trap…
Bombus centralis approaching Digitalis grandiflora
The Black Oil Beetle, Meloe niger
Male Habronattus americanus from the Opal Natural Area
Stick Insect on a Pin
Baby earwig at one day old
Female earwig protecting her eggs
- The most visited blog post with a single bug image in 2012 was the Centipede on White from 2009:
Lithobius sp. on Whiite
- And in 2012 the most popular post containing a sequence of images, is a post from 2010, The ‘Stump Stabber’ – An Ichneumon Wasp:
Echthrus sp., (Family Ichneumonidae) in ‘drilling’ position.
Many thanks to all those who have visited and supported this blog over the last year!

Thanks, Adrian, all are excellent images!
You’re welcome!
Baby earwig is my favorite – that was a great idea!
Thanks, Ted. It seems to be most popular among entomologists.
