Bees and Bug - Camera Critters

Hello Everyone. Miss Cindi Lou Who here to bring you this week's Camera Critters. My mom let's me pick out the photos each week for the Camera Critter's meme. Here are the photos I want to show you this week. Hope you like them.

First a bee on a clover bloom.

This bee is on a Blanket Flower. She is covered with pollen even on her eyes.

Mom also said that this week I could introduce you to Elwood. That's right folks, my mom has named a bug. Sorry mom, I meant a praying mantis. He's been hanging out on my patio for weeks now. I can't believe my mom gave a name to a bug! If she says this is my brother ...... well, I would be very upset.

A bug! My mom named a bug. Oh, and then there was Jake, er, I mean Jade ...... whatever, it is so confusing. I am a kitty after all, how can I be expected to keep all this straight. My job is to nap. Mom says there will be more about Elwood and Jake/Jade later.

Want to see more critters from all over the world? Go to Camera Critters.

Hi Miss Cindy, you got the bees and the mantis back. Your Mom named the mantis Elwood? Okay, hi Elwood, I am very afraid of mantis, just be nice and we will be good friends.

My what big eyes you have, bee! And then in contrast, what little eyes YOU have, mantis! Have a great day, Miss Cindy Lou Who! And tell your mom to have one too.

Great selection for Today Flower Miss Cindy Lou! I took a picture of the bee and the clover flower too, but mine isn't as good as your mom..

That praying mantis looks guilty. Don't they eat the head's off their mates after they, uh, mate? And the macro of the bee? Yikes! I'm afraid of bees and that one looks so big! Look at the gleam in it's eye! I'm afraid. I'm very afraid.

What a beautiful kitty! I want to scoop him up and snuggle with him! Your bee photos are amazing...so close and so sharp! The pollen on the second bee is something to see! Thank you for sharing! Great Job!

Splendid Little Stars said...

Thanks, Miss Cindi! Elwood is actually quite entrancing. Not as much as you, rest assured. Now you can go back to your real work, the difficult task of napping!

I rather like Elwood and I think bugs deserve names. When my youngest was little she had a catapillar called Andrea.

Miss Cindi, I am always happy to see your beautiful face. Elwood is kind of funny and in a weird way he does look like an Elwood. My Mom names things too. The bees are kind of scary so close up.

licks and sniffs, Sasha

Bonnie Bonsai said...

Please tell your Mom Miss Cindi Lou that she got lots of beautiful critters to show off and they are all very lovely with Jake, Jade and Elwood to come along. Like you they also make good and bright models. Don't you think so>

Also, she can join us at Cats on Tuesday meme so our cats will also meet you.

My cat meme is found in my cat blog. A lady named Gattina is the maker of this feline get together meme.

See you there on Tuesday!

Cindy Lou you look like my Heidi, I love the bee shots - especially the 'pollenator' :)
But, that praying mantis - awesome. I feel like it's looking at me!

Cindi Lou you did a good job picking out the photos. I don't want a bug (praying mantis) for a brother either.
