Hi Everyone,
For details, best viewed in Large
Yesterday I decided to walkabout with my relatively new 100 mm macro lens with intent to capture butterflies and any other insects that I could find. This image is but one of too many! (I had waaay too much fun)! lol
I truly appreciate your comments and views. THANK YOU! Have a wonderful week ahead!

Corps noir, assez imposant et allongé.
Ailes très sombres avec des reflets bleu-violet métalliques. Elle fréquente volontiers les fleurs sauvages, où elle se nourrit de nectar. Et elle est plutôt utile !
C'est une guêpe solitaire, contrairement aux guêpes sociales qui vivent en colonies. La femelle chasse notamment des criquets et des sauterelles, les paralyse puis les rapporte dans son nid souterrain pour nourrir ses larves.
Elle peut piquer, mais elle n'est généralement pas agressive envers les humains.
Happy Macro Monday! 🐝🐜
Second image in this Dragonfly Series...
Another red beauty, this time from above and behind.
How about those glassy, wing membranes? So delicate and intricate. I like that the branch it was resting on was red just like
the dragonfly!
Blue Morpho Butterfly (Morpho peleides), native of Central and South America, photographed at the Butterfly Atrium, Hershey Gardens, Hershey, PA.
(slightly worse for wear, but wings outspread for the photograph, which is rare.)
It is a widespread family of small beetles. They are commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and other English speaking territories.

Quietly resting on a branch, the grasshopper watches its world. With strong legs and careful eyes, it waits — calm, patient, and alert.
Blending in with the leaves around it, this small creature is both hidden and powerful in its own way. It doesn’t make a sound, but its presence speaks of balance in nature.
Nature’s Sentinel reminds us that even the smallest beings play an important role in the world around us.
