Overcast vs. Sunny Day Photography

When it comes to outdoor photography, I think we all know an overcast day offers great lighting for our shots.  Lights are soft on the subjects.  You don't get the harsh lighting condition of a sunny day at noon time.  Just a thought here, but do you notice how much sharper your pictures are when the sun is out?  You shouldn't be shooting when the lights are too harsh, but things look a lot sharper in the sun.  Yes, you can crank up the ISO sensitivity level of your camera to reduce the exposure time to get sharper images in an overcast day, but when it's sunny out, sunlight gives you the speed you need for sharp pictures.

Invasion of What?

What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.
