Two walking-stick insects mating in a garden in McDonald's Corners, Ontario Canada. The small brown one is the male and the much larger green one is the female.
Insect and flower. I shot this series with Olympus TOUGH TG-5 by using (normal) macro feature. In this case I could not use extended focus because insect was moving way too fast and it was quite challange to get some photos even with normal macro. I shot over 200 photos to get these few. However with compact macro (with small sensor size) this is somewhat easier than with full frame sensor DSLR and macro lens. Hausjärvi, Finland. 28.8.2017
Episode 4, Part 1 of 2.
A parasitised Scale Insect on a bay leaf found in Summerfields Wood below the Walled Garden. Two larvae are clearly visible within. Picture below shows the same cocoon shortly after the adult wasps have eclosed, two exit holes are visible.
Origami insects presented in an antique box with the latin classification labels, made from the text to 'Insects in Colour' by N D Riley and referencing the encyclopaedia images.
My solitary stick insect, Xalamar the Third and Mighty :) I was seeing how far I could go with the macro function on my digital camera. Not bad I say!
A few hundred insects smashed into the windshield spraying all of their body contents and reducing visibility.

A male insect (I don't know the species) appears to have other things on his mind than the pollen feast around him as he looks up and down a female with his compound eyes. A short while later, the two were engaged in insect love making. Sigma 150mm macro and ring flash.
I often get insect bites, mainly from flies and they don't really cause any problems and they disappear in a few days.
But this one yesterday (some fly), whilst I was photographing a damselfly, got me right on a vein on my wrist, and as the photo shows the venom as travelled all the way up the vein. It as also swelled up quite bad on the wrist.
I might have to start using insect repellent.
I did take the photo by using a tripod and some light from the side.....and my smallest camera Olympus Mju 740 and using the macro funtion asclose as I can....my macro isn´t good enough on my Olympus E 520......
But I still have to tri usong the Bresser microscope to see what I can get on the picture..and sharp....but here I managed to get a picture of the whole wing....though it isn´t all sharp, I know....the size of the wing on my photo is 1,8 cm....and it is in moclay....found on the island of Mors in oktober 2009...in Denmark....eocene..
I guess it is a wing from a Phenacolestes jutlandica or just Coenagrionidae , but I´m not at all absolutely sure...just a guess...after been loooking in books and sites on the internet....
here is a link to Henrik jensens fossil site, where he shows a wing like this, I think: www.danske-fossiler.dk/HSJ/Insekter-i-cementsten/XL/vandn... and tells it is a Coenagrionidae and I would like to be able to make such a good and sharp photo like his...
here is a link to Henrik jensens fossil site:

but other suggstions are welcome, sure....
Comme Madame vient de se taper un bellargus, on aperçoit de loin en loin les écailles bleues de sa victime...

We saw many of these flying insects darting over the water of the pond. Once again relying on Google Lens, I have come ot the conclusion that this might be a Widow Skimmer. Wikipedia says that the "Widow Skimmer is one of the group of dragonflies known as king skimmers. The nymphs live in the water, molting and growing until they are ready to emerge from the water and then molting a final time to reveal their wings."
I had several Doubled-lined come to the lights but have not seen Variable Oak this season.
Feeding on Northern Red Oak
Dark Euphoria, Euphoria sepulcralis, Durham County, NC. This individual was found on flowers, captured and posed. This species is rather variable, sometimes black with white marks, and sometimes with a rusty pubescence, as here.
