My very first picture of a butterfly!
Average, yes, but I'm really happy about it! :D
This was one of the most photogenic bugs I have ever taken pictures of I didn't move much it posed allowed me to compose this shot. I did thank it when I was done. Corrected ID 5/12/2012

I support myself as an electronics engineer and on a job near LA, I found a plant full of these lady beetles (all stages) in the parking lot of my client. I had to sneak out of the job at some time today to shoot these images in the parking lot. Lucky I had my camera with me.

After facing my fears, I finally got up close and personal with the bees. I waited by some agapanthus for a while, before I managed to take this shot. I'm pleased with the photo, as well as myself for getting so close.
Very windy these days, the only fairly still place is close to the ground. So I hunted done a couple of these little hoppers which are around now. They are small, 2 to 3mms and hard to find, but hang out on small plants close to the ground. Interesting little machines!
Series of 4 pics.
First ladybug of the year, just sitting there wondering about the meaning of life. PS! Full view please :)
J'ai vu plusieurs Cicindèles hier qui se promenaient ou se posaient sur le sable du seniter au soleil... Au soleil son coprs brille comme un bijou... Un joyau, un émeraude!!
La Cicindèle champêtre est un beau coléoptère vert, parfois bleuâtre, plus rarement noirâtre. C'est un insecte chasseur redoutable d'une grande rapidité et d'un appétit féroce. Elle attrape ses proies à la course et effectue des vols courts en cas de danger. Sa larve, également carnivore, vit dans un terrier vertical où elle attend qu'une proie passe à sa portée.
I have been playing in the late afternoon sun. Using my wonderful Nikon D5200 and a 40mm Nikon Micro lens I have been practising macro photography. There have been 3 flies in the conservatory for a couple of days, so I have tried to get them in focus.
Dorcus parallelopipedus.
Larvae spend 3 - 4 years within dead timber before emerging as adults to mate. The adults only live for a few weeks & do not feed during this time.

A visit to The Botanic Gardens In Oxford yesterday. This Common Darter seemed to be owning the pond around the rock garden.

"Angus's genius is the embrace of what is wholly natural, if unexpected. Yes, the insects are real, and no, she has not altered them except to position their wings and legs. The species in this gallery are not endangered, but in fact are quite abundant, primarily in Malaysia, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea, a corner of the world where Nature seems to play with greater freedom. The pink wash is derived from cochineal insect living on cacti in Mexico, where it has long been prized as the best source of the color red. By altering the context in which we encounter such species, Angus startles us into recognition of what has always been a part of our world."
