Insect - Insecto

To get the queen wasp away from the fly, I enticed it onto my finger with some sugar/honey syrup.

The holly blue butterfly in the previous shots had been remarkably calm about me taking photos, so when I'd finished, I stuck a finger under it's nose and much to my surprise it walked on and stayed there quite a while. It only flew off when I tried walking up the garden to show the wife.

(2) Japanese Beetles just gettin together on a summer day.......Curious why both have their left arms up. Time out perhaps or kind of like syncronized sex ? Just not sure...

Captured with a Nikon D3 60mm Macro 125th at F16. Camera left Nikon SB-900 off to the right and high..

Butterfly.

Hand held, uncropped shot of a pair of treehoppers found in my yard. This is a bit over 2x life size. Minor dust cleanup on processed shot (you really notice that dust over 1x)

How many Butterfly species are there? Someone knows I'm sure. How are they named? Where do they all go in cold weather? How do they find their way there? We need a GPS to go to Gramma's house two states away for Thanksgiving? Just one of the life's colorful creatures that poses more questions then answers. "Butterflies"

About an inch long. Waterlogged and trying to recover right at the edge of the shore.

Longhorn beetle in potentilla flower. Focus stacked using zerene. Probably Grammoptera ruficornis

Fly on marguerite Anthomyia Eustalomyia hilaris

I think this is just a worker wasp but loved the shot

If you have seen a luna moth, consider yourself lucky because it only lives as a moth for about a week; the rest of its life is spent as a caterpillar or pupating!

Although they appear frightening, swarming bees are generally non-aggressive. This is principally due to the lack of a brood (developing bees) to defend. That said, they will attack if they feel threatened, as I know only too well. I was inspecting a similar swarm a few years ago & was rewarded by a sting on the nose. No problems this time though, thankfully.

I think anyone who has tried this will realise quite how difficult it is. Long way to go, but quite pleased to get anything in focus with the speed and agility of these amazing creatures.
