Insects possess segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton, a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The segments of the body are organized into three distinctive but interconnected units, or tagmata; a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. The head supports a pair of sensory antennae, a pair of compound eyes, one to three simple eyes ("ocelli") and three sets of variously modified appendages that form the mouthparts. The thorax has six segmented legs (one pair each for the prothorax, mesothorax and the metathorax segments making up the thorax) and two or four wings (if present in the species). The abdomen (made up of eleven segments some of which may be reduced or fused) has most of the digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive internal structures.

One of my personal challenges this year has to been to try and improve on my insect flight images. This one was taken in my garden and I was hoping that I have captured the wing movement.

I am no specialist on insects so I don't know which spider and which fly. The fly didn't make it though
This strange looking insect is neither a scorpion or a fly and is completely harmless. It scavenges around in the undergrowth looking for dead insects to feed on. Seen in Dunwich, Suffolk.
Not sure what kind of bee this is, so I will just call it a Honeybee gathering pollen on the flower of a Pickerelweed in the wetlands of Florida.
In folklore, often used to predict the coming Winter weather. The longer the orange colored band, the milder the Winter! Whether there is any merit to this is a matter for speculation. However, we who have been brought up on this bit of folklore, subscribe to its veracity! If this critter is correct, we will have a slightly milder Winter.
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Vowel", i.e. the subject must start with a vowel, in this case Insect. The Robber Fly is a ruthless predator which catches smaller insects in flight, then devours them.
I'm not going to get into photographing insects. Don't have the lens for it and that's the easy part... don't know the first thing about them.. and as my daughter points out, "better not start that as well, you don't have enough time left Dad". But this little guy has sort of earned his spot. I take coffee and a bit of breakfast out the back, he'd landed in the dogs water bowl and was in all sorts of trouble. Lifted him out and he sat on the back of my thumb for ages, wouldn't move.... don't think he had much strength left. Maybe the sun energised him because eventually he started to brush the water off with his back legs. Finally persuaded that a leaf might be the way to go, when I came out later he was back to life and on the handrail... above the water bowl..
