so I'm trying to learn about dragonflies, hawkers, skimmers, chasers, darters etc. but with little success. I have no idea what this is, if anyone can help, that would be much appreciated.

During a spot of gardening this ladybird made an appearance climbing up to the top of a pile of dandelions, taking flight for a second, crashing, then repeating the process. It didn't seem to be flying well and was maybe getting it's skills back after hibernation.

Dicerca tenebrosa, Buprestidae. 0.5 e. of Jackson Lake, Jackson County, Ohio. On telephone pole.

Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.

Finally I found another interesting bug to photograph. Very martian looking I think. Between the rain showers and the wind, it was a challenge.

Nomada bee feeding on Euphorbia. Probably Nomada marshamella

Large, like a Blue-eyed Darner, but I could not ID it.

a Microterys seyon wasp of the Encyrtidae in the pomegranate bush in the garden - these beautiful wasps are a regular sight in autumn and winter but never seem to see them in high summer.

A variable 10-spot ladybird. One of the many colour/pattern variants of this small ladybird

This one was in bad shape when I found it.

Swallowtails visit my butterfly bush daily but his is the first really perfect specimen I have seen. Most have defects, IE: broken tails, damaged wings, etc!

one of several Heterotoma planicornis bugs of the Miridae found in the bay tree in the garden

had a look through a couple of book and think the id is fine with this one

Male. Common, but certainly a dazzler. Lacassine NWR, Cameron Parrish, Louisiana.
