That's the metal wall of the construction site in the background. Seemed apt.

Seepage Dancer (Argia bipunctulata) male. Patuxent Research Refuge in Maryland

I have not made a lot of these insect macros. I had the macro lens on for another purpose and at that moment decided to photograph this common fly.

I thought it was not bad so decided to put this on Flickr.

This female was around 9 inches long, the male was browner and half the size.

Took this in guardbridge where there is a very nice late flowering buddleja bush. I have seen up to five species of butterfly on this bush at the one time.

I believe this to be an Eight Spotted Forester, but if anyone knows differently, feel free to let me know.

Latin: Hypsopygia costalis

Not sure about the identification. I used a flash so the gold colour is not as visible as it should.

This was shot on a nettle leaf.

Ground beetle. Focus stacked using zerene

resin bee, Megachila sp. Possibly erythropyga.

Tokina 100mm f/2.8

Found this hairy fly near Terrigal, NSW, Australia. Very much alive and buzzing!

Judging by the number of queens about at the moment think we might be in for a bumper wasp year- had very few last year.

An Insect

A nest of baby spiders, suspended on a fine web, above stinging nettles.

Thought this was a wasp when I spotted it on the car but think it's a male flying red ant Myrmica sp.

Taken at the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory
