A beautiful insect photographed in the garden of Schloss Schönbrunn in Vienna, Austria.

Best viewed in large size to get all the details of this critter...

Hylaeus bee on potentilla. First I've seen this year - around 6mm body length. Focus stacked using zerene

White Springs Dike

Deeside.

There are far too many flies this year, but at least it gives me lots of subjects to practise on!

In Årsta, behind the suburban idyll, an invasion is ongoing. A clump of trees have slowly become enveloped in a white net. If you look closer you see that it's moving. (100% Iphoneography) at Årsta Stockholm

Seen in the garden. These are a bit of a macro cliche, but they do pose politely for me!

A rather small cold male red mason bee. Turned out to be carrying some mites. Focus stacked using zerene.

Bumble bee

Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand

Cimice delle piante. (Graphosoma italicum or Graphosoma lineatum).

About 2 cm in length

Un bel faccia a faccia con un piccolo mostro della natura...

il Centrotus cornutus

Appena 5mm di lunghezza e meno in larghezza, non è il massimo da fotografare, nemmeno con il mio tamron 180mm che arriva ad un ingrandimento pari ad un RR 1:1......

Anche stavolta per arrivare circa ad un RR 3:1 mi sono affidato come al solito all'attrezzatura leggera....se così si può definire.....fuji x10 super dopata dal raynox dcr-250 + il raynox msn-202 ..... led panel....e tanta pazienza...visto che su due esemplari uno è scappato e questo saltellava da una pianta ad un altra per farmi i dispetti!!!!

Took the dog up my local hill again this morning... managed to get a couple of shots off before he took flight. It would have been nice to get the classic silhouette shot, but not to be.!!

Still seeing the odd hoverfly about - Episyrphus balteatus

Saw this land on my mother car window screen so thought I'd try to get a quick shot before I scared it away

Interesting looking fly on ox-eye daisy. Think it's Miltogramma sp.
