median wasp from the summer

A plant bug or something.

First time I've seen one this colour before.

None of the flies (or other insects) in my photos are frozen or dead. None have been manually 'posed'. All are photographed alive and well in their natural environment, unless they are being killed or eaten by another insect in the photo.

This mantis in the garden is enjoying the sudden increase in the number of insects as summer approaches.

This grasshopper was on a tower between a marsh and a forest in Western New York state. Any ideas on what kind it is?

This moth was very small, maybe an inch across the wingspan. I took the photo from the wrong side of the window. When I went outside to photograph it, it flew away before I even got close. It looks familiar but I haven't researched yet.

A man will beg

A man will crawl

On the sheer face of love

Like a fly on a wall

It's no secret at all

With daisies making a bokeh background.
