Comparing this picture of neighbor kitty chasing a bug with the picture above it, doesn't he look like a scorpion?

I had to giggle at the "scorpion kitty" - too cute!!! I also like your yellow flower face - it looks like a the flower face is tired and trying to sleep!
And did you notice that the milkweed bug nymph and the giant mesquite bug nymph both have hearts on their backs?
What wonderful critters today!!!
Love the neighbors scorpion kitty !
You are so clever.
Of all the wild thing we have in Arizona bugs are the ones I am not crazy about.
I like it best when the birds come and eat them.
Scorpions are the worst and since I live in the foothills we have a few too many.
I can't believe your neighbor can let the kitty out.
She/he wouldn't last long outside were I live. I have coyotes, a bobcat and several hawks that come by my home plus the javelinas. Just a few streets over there were some Mountain Lions.
I have to watch or keep a listen when I let Watson and Hamish out in their small yard.

A VERY fascinating and colorful post but I must confess that those bugs are a main reason why I no longer live in the southwest. ;)
Very beautiful post!It looks like!
;-)
Scorpion kitty :) Those bugs are quite beautiful. I have never seen any of them except the scorpion.
Ouch! A sting from Scorpion Kitty would really hurt. :) How do you find out the names of all those bugs. Great macro shots. Love that sweat bees green head.
Those bugs are interesting looking, but the last one sure is a copycat of scorpion :-)
I am attracted to the Giant Mesquite Bug nymph. Cool bug - nice colour and pattern!
The designs on those bugs could be the basis of some interesting embroidery.
Hi Diane, My oldest son used to LOVE bugs... He would bring home all kinds of bugs... Well--I'm definitely not a bug person --and they make me chill, even seeing their pictures...
Great pictures though.
Hugs,

LOL...scorpiocat! Love that. hehehehe.
wow, interesting critter shots, love all of them. the kitty is cute and so is the yellow bell
Oooh I'm not sure I like the scorpion but this is a wonderful set of photos and the last one is so funny!
It is so interesting to look at all the patterns in your pictures.
Such great picks and easy to study and I'll try to keep in mind the names + likes or dislikes :-))
Those are impressive images of the insects. I think the neighborhood kitty must be an understudy of the neighborhood scorpions! =)
Wow, these are fantastic! Love all the little details, like the designs on the beetles and the cat snap :-)
j adore le chat ;O)
What a wonderful collection of bugs, so colorful. Plus, who could resist the kitty/scorpion.

I'm impressed at your ability to identify the bugs, to me they are just bugs.
