Jill and Ron's Garden

is filled with wildflowers, dogs (two who seem legion), cats, and bugs. Jill loves them, as does her husband Ronn. She and he have also encouraged me to photograph the flora and fauna.

Jill especially loves bugs.

For her, here's a multicolored Asian lady beetle. I should add that the bug too is one of legion. Her kind invade our houses in Tennessee, lie dormant during the winter, wake on sunny days, and move our walls (or seem to when they bunch and crawl).

They sleep, they swarm, they stink, and they surprise me in close-up.

The little bug in macro is a hairy beast!
