Vaccinium myrtillus is a species of shrub with edible fruit of blue color, commonly called "bilberry", "whortleberry" or "European blueberry". It has much in common with the American blueberry (Vaccinium cyanococcus). It is more precisely called Common Bilberry or Blue Whortleberry, to distinguish it from other Vaccinium relatives.
So this was intended to be just another flower shot, but I caught an insect just as it was about to enter the flower to feed. I like the result, even if it was accidental... Again, I don't know what the flower or insect are, although the flower looks foxglove-like to me.
The rarest insect I have ever photographed - a bark fly found by David Scott langley and sent to me to photograph after advice from the UK bark fly expert Bob Saville. Apparently this bark fly has not been recorded since 1867. Found on a house in the Cotswolds
One of our in-cottage geckos. The windows are all louvered, so critters (mostly birds, geckos, and insects) come in and out at will. With mosquitos around, it's nice to have a gecko or two "in-house" to keep the human occupants uneaten. ;)
Unknown insect found along a path near a small pond in northeastern Oklahoma. Approximately one inch long.
This interesting looking insect was seen in a field I often visit not far from Holme Pierrepont.
Help with ID would be appreciated.

The particles seen around the antenna are fog particles. The area was covered with fog. Altitude was 2500 MSNM.
man this was pretty amazing, i havent really paid attention to how a daddy long legs catches its prey. It lassoed the crane flys legs together and then went in to eat it. I think the spider actually has one of the fly's legs in its mouth.
