Carphephorus odoratissimus (Nelson Gulf p35)
Lots of pollinators everywhere, quite the banquet available for them. These gorgeous green bees come in more than one size, this being a larger one. (Notice the second visitor?)
This is a close up photo of a tall plant growing in the open pinewoods, so many they make a purple mist just above the palmetto leaves.
Approx 100 mm from tail (bottom) to extended fore-legs (top of picture). A truely amazing insect! (From the Chatham Islands).
This beetle was on fine granite. It was taken in February 2007 so it is one of my old ones. I am not sure if it was ever posted to Flickr because most of my photos from those days are not listed as Flickr ones. I need to check the SET on Flickr to be sure but I am running late. Gone for the day.
Found on my Bottle Brush plant.
Someone ID's these as Florida Predatory Stink Bug nymphs - Euthyrhynchus floridanus.
My first venture into macro photography during lockdown but insects are also entirely new to me so if you know what species it is then please let me know.
... to see it. At the end this spider lost its fright

only crop
Very camera shy and may be it was the speedlight therefore I made only 5 shots. I like this one best from this series.
This insect has me stumped. Its cute little face reminds me of a bee, but its body suggests a wasp, but there are bees that convincingly look like wasps and vice versa! This tiny cutie was fussing about on some carrot tops (Platysace linearifolia) and was a challenge to photograph because of its size and flightiness. I managed a few photos from different angles in the hopes someone could identify it for me! Found in Springwood, Blue Mountains, NSW.
From the text next to the "hotel" :
Prof. Dr. Herwig Teppner from the Graz University found out, that wild bees visit about (if +2 °C) during 100 collecting flights each daz around 4.500 to 6.500 blossoms. Honey bees achieve only 700 on warmer days.
There are lots of insects that can`t find appropriate hatcheries in our polluted environment.
Conservation of wild bees is getting more and more important for pollination of flowers, bushes, corn and fruit trees. Solitair living wasps and bees gladly use holes (2-8 mm) in pieces of hardwood or brick clay for breeding.
You can also put pieces of twigs of forsytia and black elder in your garden. So you can watch mason bees, face masked bees, and many more bees and tiny wasps living and breeding in your garden. All of them are harmless for you and your children!
Lepidoptera : Geometridae
Another pretty moth.
Could be Nemoria sp.

Lynx Spiders are hunting spiders that spend their lives on plants, flowers and shrubs. Nimble runners and jumpers, they rely on their keen eyesight to stalk, chase or ambush prey. Six of their eight eyes are arranged in a hexagon-like pattern, a characteristic that identifies them as members of the family Oxyopidae. They also have spiny legs.
Common genera in the United States include Oxyopes—the common lynx spiders—and Peucetia—the green lynx spiders.
Some members of the genus Oxyopes are abundant enough to be important in agricultural systems as biological control agents. This is especially true of the striped lynx spider (Oxyopes salticus).
A member of the genus Tapinillus is remarkable as being one of the few social spiders, living in colonies.
