A gorgeous lemon yellow and black hoverfly. I under exposed this by -0.7 steps and the yellow markings have come out just right. A bit of adjustment in Photoshop and I think this looks pretty good. Although, even with this treatment the left hand side of the face has burnt out!
I saw this small (4-5 mm) white piece of fluff and I realized it wasn't wafting the way a real piece of fluff would, it seemed to be moving with intention. A closer look revealed a small insect which I learned is a type of Aphid. The adults in this stage are not supposed to feed, so I don't know what it is doing on the clover plant. In this shot, the head is pointed down and to the left. You can see the small black eye. Eriosomatinae, Aphididae, Central IL, Summer 2012.
There always so many spiders and webs around, but none of them ever seem to have caught anything, so I watched in fascination as this spider wrapped up an unfortunate insect.

observed a minimum of 77 Leaf-roller Caddisfly larvae (Tricoptera, Phryganeidae) feeding on recently laid Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) egg masses; this ravenous pack of insect larvae appeared to have already consumed 4 or 5 egg masses and were beginning to feed on the remaining 4; Veazie, Maine
Yesterday I was reading the flickr blog entry about Reverse Lens Photography (http://blog.flickr.net/en/2010/05/07/turn-your-lenses-upside-down/) and got inspired to put together my Canon 70-200mm L 4f with my Tamron 28-200mm 3.8-5.6 and this is one of the results.

I would be grateful for any help identifying this moth (another view in comments below) or the moth I found also on ragwort in this photo here www.flickr.com/photos/photospool/19782556149/
Thanks
I went hill jogging behind my housing estate and saw this strange but beautiful insect at top of hill.
New growth from within. Not a herp, but we saw many examples of this all over the forest at night. Amazon, Ecuador.
I found this little insect in a guava tree in my garden.
He seems to be asking: What are you looking? And looking at my camera :)
I like a lot the colors on this one, orange, blue and black.
Taken at iso 100, 1/200 and f16, using camera flash and natural light.
