Larva... cute or nasty???

This is what I do when I am upset...draw bugs and what really helps me feel better is to draw the ugliest (and yet maybe the cutest, says my daughter) LARVA (plus one worm) in the world! I found these in the full color photo section of the Natural Insect and Disease Control book my SIL gave me, and except for the gross sliminess that you can't see here, I used Sharpie, and my watercolor pencils, and a few other misc. things laying around here to make them. I think I will paint them with clear shiny fingernail polish now so they can look true to themselves!!! Nasty!
Oh well...I feel slightly better now. Tomorrow should look brighter! Just a few worries up my sleeve. Gotta stop worrying and take action. I will. For sure. You know, it really bothers me that the Wireworm has no eye...I should dot one in there...might make me feel even better!!! :)

Bug I.D.

Thankyou, Cindy, for the I.D.! These look like Longlegged Flies. You can see them on Bug Guide...I submitted one picture to the guide and you can see it HERE. On reading about their behavior, the mating begins after the male "shows his legs" to the female!!! LOL. Sexy.
I need to do further research to see how, if any, this fly would bother my plants. I am wondering if these babies may have come in a bag of soil I bought??? The larvae could have been in there...or maybe they just came on their own, liking the smell of those black-eyed pea plants!!! Hee hee hee...
Thanks, Cindy!!!!!

Need bug I.D., if anyone knows!

Today I went out after 2 days of rain, to look at the garden areas, and my eye fell on a teeny fly looking bug on my black-eyed peas...it was irridescent blue, and about 2 cm. long (very tiny). It flew away, and then I looked at the other plants and there were quite a few of these guys...but they were either irridescent gold or red/orange in color!!! I ran in for the camera.
I have looked at BugGuide.net, but haven't found anything exactly like these. I am hoping my blog pal, Cindy, over at Bug Safari will be able to possibly tell me. If anyone else might happen to know, please feel free to reveal it to me!!!The only reason I want to know is in case they might cause any damage to my crop!

It doesn't really seem posible...they are so little and flit about...there is nothing to them...just light little teeny bugs.....very innocent looking, and so cute...

It is fun to see what new variety of bug will visit depending on what you plant! My friend (the one joining in the co-op with us) is planting watermelon and cucumbers. We shall see what suddenly arrives on her scene!!!

I like the colors of these cute bugs...orange and yellow! Well, thanks in advance to anyone who might know an I.D!!!
