Butterfly at Woodland Park Zoo - Seattle, WA. Taken with Nikon D300 using Nikon 300mm f/2.8 and Nikon 1.4x Teleconverter. 420mm, f/4, 1/400 sec, ISO 3200

Crane fly, mosquito hawk, mosquito eater and other given misnomers. They don't eat mosquitoes, or anything else as the adult stage is for breeding only. The larvae get roots and can be pests. With more than 4200 species I have no idea which this is.

This guy was tough to shoot on the floor.

Think this is Osmia caerulescens but seems redder than I've seen before. Sitting on a wooden bench. Focus stacked using zerene

Small hoverfly looking for aphids to lay it's eggs near. This one seemed to be tasting the leaf with it's proboscis. It then laid an egg on the underside of a leaf

Nomada bee on my finger. Focus stacked using zerene stacker

never seen this little bug before. Thought it was an extra large ant when I first spotted it, then thought it was a flightless wasp but then I spotted it's proboscis. very fast mover unlike most plant bugs. Body length about 5mm.

Id'd as Myrmecoris gracilis - a predator often on ant broods (but not the adults)

i could actually hear him munch which was pretty cool

I love bees. There are so many different kinds and varieties with all kinds of colors!

This tiny insect (about 3mm long) landed on my leg while I was sitting in the garden.
