The funny thing is that I never witnessed any insect in or around "hotels" like this. Insects seem to distrust such human initiatives...
This insect came to visit in the Orlando wetlands park. I'm afraid my knowledge of insects is limited! Nearest I can say is dragonfly??
Cartoon character with the motif of the insect. Whole body is a strange guy in black.
It draws with Photoshop. It is a very unique mascot character.

The Scaeva pyrastri is a distinctive hoverfly with three pairs of comma markings on the abdomen.
As in most other hoverflies, males can be easily identified by their holoptic eyes, ie, left and right compound eyes touching at the top of the head. This is a female as the eyes are not touching.

These baldfaced hornets built an intricate nest among the leaves of my mother's magnolia tree in McMinnville, Yamhill County, Oregon. Baldfaced hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) , which are actually yellowjackets, are very aggressive.
Gray beetle, gray fungus...gray photo. --Michael
9/05/06 note: I researched the beetle today, and it turns out to be a male Forked (or Horned) Fungus Beetle (Bolitotherus cornutus). Its life cycle seems to revolve around woody, polyporous bracket fungi. How convenient...I found it on a woody, polyporous bracket fungus.
Lestes dryas, female. Lobdell Reserve, Licking County, Ohio. Female is laying eggs by inserting her ovipositor in plant stem. Eggs will hatch and larvae will emerge when the temporary pond refills next spring.
These set up each year in my vineyard at Mt Martha, Mornington Peninsula, once the nets are placed. The cross refers to the cross in its web which both strengthens it & is believed to attract insects.
For those of you who would use such a backgrround image. You know who you are.
We often have several of these hovering in the back yard. With a little patience, it's possible to get a decent macro picture of one. I think it's some kind of flesh fly, although it was acting like a hoverfly.

tricky dragonfly in flight shot
now identified as a four spotted chaser or skimmer (Libellula quadrimaculata)
Catching this bumblebee flying around my place to find a nest was pretty hard...especially in mid-air without an object to aid in centering and focusing.
Well, thanks to 450D for the idea of resizing the images! Else the 4 snaps would have had to wait till next month!
Is this a wasp? Couldnt see the sting. And if it was, then I wonder why it kept going to all the flowers as though it was in search of nectar! And smart guy I must point out, never went to the same flower twice! And only this plan in the whole garden and then just flew away.
Was unable to get a proper snap due to this erratic behaviour! Just a slight of focus snap!
