Was in Wright Park today at a picnic table. This guy wanted some food so I took some pictures of him... He got between the slats of the table so I used a plastic fork to pick him back up and put him in range... When I touched him he started oozing this stuff out the back end.. moved pretty fast so focusing was hard. Still learning how to get stuff like this with a decent DOF. C&C welcome as always.

Looks kind of like a lady bug larva.

Cool bug. :D
If it is ladybug larva, then i think that "oozing" is called forced bleeding, they secreet a foul tasting/smelling mildly toxic liquid to repel any bugs that might want to eat it. I'm pretty sure thats what it is anyway- I'm probably totally wrong. :D either that or you accidentally stabbed him with the fork :lol:

Just typed in "ladybug larvae" on google and It came up with loads of pics of the same kind of bug :D . AKrover was right.

It kinda looks like a ladybug larvae, but kinda doesn't as well. Here is a not so sharp pic I took of one (only my second try at a "bug" pic:

Anyway, I was trying to look it up and found a site with different ladybug "species" and this looks like it could be the one... maybe:

Anyway, it's the closest one I have found to your pic.
