Flowers from my garden

Just finished up winterizing the pool I manage during the summer. I take a look around to see if I missed something during clean up and I noticed this praying mantis sitting pretty by the side of the pool. This is a photo opportunity!!!

Small tortoiseshell butterfly in the garden the other day. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene. See www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/12821645224/ for a 3D version.

This fly allowed me take his photo as he considered what he was going to do next. I like the cool pattern on his wings.

My first Skipper. Sunday 17 June 2012. 13:31. Hampstead Heath, London N6.

I'm not sure if its a big or small skipper. I'm going to plump for Large Skipper(Ochlodes venata). I've no idea what the other insect is. Update: Many thanks to Harryf2011 below for confirming it is a large Skipper www.flickr.com/photos/harrylepidopterist/
