It seemed to have got itself caught in a spider web on some old bailing twine but while I was attempting to take its photo it managed to escape.
Help needed with positive ID - I thought it may be a midge full of blood but that is just an uneducated guess.
9:45pm, Saturday 3rd June. A a performance of 'Insect' by 'Theater Titanick'.
With the two halves joined together, the fully formed insect went on the move, ready to fly...
He was the exact color of the leaves. The only reason I saw him was I was watering the bushes and he didn't like it. When he moved out of the way I saw him.
the day i found Saxo *see photoset about my furry friend here* it was raining and overcast, so the day wasn't really suitable for anything but portraits. of insects...

Yesterday this thing came in and fluttered around the light. Anybody know what kind of insect this is? It's quite large - I would guess about 8 - 10 cm including antennae. I think I've found the name: Ophion ventricosus (correct me if I'm wrong)
DSCN7148 I have no idea what kind of insect this is - not a mosquito (state bird of WI ;-) - but I'm certainly glad I spent part of the summer repairing the cabin screens !!
Order: Diptera (True Flies).
Size: 6-10mm.
Range: Throughout Canada and the United States.
Description: These insects are active on bright sunny days near human habitations; they are often seen around dog feces. Adults sip both plant and animal fluids. Females sometimes lay eggs on open wounds; they are among the first insects to arrive at a carcass. Larvae develop in rotting meat and pupate in the soil. This species has been used in "maggot therapy."
This spider was just outside my front door, happily content, enjoying the warm summer sun...
Because I had to stand on my front door steps to take this photo I could not use a tripod...

As I descended the steps in the more coniferous part of Chantry Wood, I noticed a fluttering insect which came to rest on nettles. ID would be appreciated please.
