Spotted this beauty flying at low level and then it landed and started to egg lay, switching positions and directions for about 10 minutes.

They're much easier to photograph when they're stationery!

First miner bee of the year. Focus stacked using zerene

one of the Pteromalidae - found in Euonymus, nigh on certain it is Pachyneuron groenlandicum

Ephermeropteran (Mayfly). The name ephemeroptora comes from the Greek for short lived (ephemeral) as the bugs only last a few hiours to a day.

Pompilid wasp ?. Spotted this wasp searching around on a camellia bush. Focus stacked using zerene

Cleethorpes

Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida

Forest of Dean

I wish it was this sort of weather today. This fly was basking on the warm brick next to my front door.

This "obelisk" position is thought to help regulate body temperature by reducing exposure to the sun.

I do like Summer but I hate the bugs. At least this one posed for me!

Mint moth on sage flower. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene

Spotted this on my Magnolia tree. I'll be glad when my cataract surgery is done. Hard to nail focus.

Alameda, CA

While cutting down buckthorn in my yard I inadvertently disturbed a bee (honeybee?) swarm. I abandoned the area quickly without getting stung. When I returned in the cool evening after sunset to retrieve my tools the bees were clustered in an approximately pizza-size mass on the ground. I doubt that there are any managed hives in this suburban residential neighborhood, thus it's a bit of a mystery where they came from.
