Something different today. A little color for us to remember summer :D

Taken from inside as it crossed the glass of the window. I love the colours on its exoskeleton.

Small hoverfly feeding on sugar/honey syrup. Meliscaeva auricollis

Insects Balikpapan

Silverfish - Lepisma saccharina

Sweat bee Lasioglossum sp. I think in Calendula flower. Highdown gardens Worthing

i think it's urticaria... some washy, but...

Found 4 of these in the plastic sealed container I use for my koi fish food mix.

Think they are larder beetle larvae.

Lepidoptera : Riodinidae

Villeta, Colombia, Junio 2010

Concuerda un poco con el color de las alas de varias otras fotos en Flickr.

Las otras fotos que encontre de mariposas similares (Melanis electron, y otras) fueron tomadas en Venezuela, Ecuador y Brazil, asi que la region tambien concuerda.

O mas parece ser Isapis agyrtus.

Found in the Peruvian Amazon

Compost fly Scatopse sp. Focus stacked using zerene

Soldier fly Chorisops tibialis. Spotted a small cloud of flies about 12 foot above the ground next to the shrub I see these flies on. Decided to try and net one to find out what it was and it turned out the be one of these soldier flies.

again, not sure what this one is. Antenna so large couldn't fit them in. Really like the head on alien look though.

Insect eggs of some sort on the underside of an oak leaf. Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

"friggen bug series", so do spiders have four eyes or are those "side eyes" eyes ?

If the ID is right, these are parasitoids of walking sticks.

Small bumble bee having a breather. Bombus pratorum male
