Photography: Cute escutcheon-shaped bug up close 2011-06-22 - Adair Co., KY - Photo By Brent Thompson. Brent Thompson writes: "Buggin' - Playing around with my 1965 micro-nikkor lens," and captured this up close and personal picture of a cute bug with cute eyes. The picture does bring to mind a comment by Billy Joe Fudge, "Just remember that color doesn't matter - if the bug is shaped like a shield it will stink!" Even though these bugs don't pose the peril of Sharon Whitehurst's pet Black Widow spider, it may pay to be enlightened by reading Kentucky Color: Stink Bug by B.J. Fudge.Seen in the ColumbiaMagazine group on Flickr. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Wildlife of Kentucky: Metcalfe Co. box turtles 2011-06-22 - In between Ravenna and Subtle, KY - Photo by Ned Reagin. While walking through the woods, Ned Reagin came upon these honeymooning box turtles. The groom, he thinks, is on the left; his new bride on the right. However, this may be a stretch. They could be an old married couple. Box turtles live to be 50 years old, under the right condition. They are the State Reptile of Tennessee. And maybe the national reptile of Metcalfe County, where the all time box turtle king - we called them terrapins - was the late Morris Lane Shirley, a wonderful, kind man, who would pick them up when he saw them in danger on the roadways and take them home and feed them.
