Another Common Darter lets me get close :-) Loads of these around at present

Still don't know the name of this insect but it seems to be fairly common in these parts this time of year.

A small soft box was on the speed light (at about 1/16 power) that was attached via a TTL cord to the camera. Flash to camera right and just out of the frame.

As always, thoughtful feedback, constructive criticisms, and suggestions are always appreciated. As always, I have used tools at my disposal to interpret the original raw file. Use of this photo without permission is not permitted.

Sweat bee on potentilla flower. Natural light

The zombie apocalypse has begun! (Bugun?). Head for the hills (not that it will do any good).

 

So, does anyone know what species this was before it was turned into a zombie?

 

(Just to clear up any confusion, this is a perfectly healthy fly. I just think it looks like a zombie)

Male azure damselfly. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene. See www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/26927517553/ for a 3D version

If you look closely, there is also a Chaffinch in this image.

I'm not sure what kind of eggs are these. A tachinid fly?

It seems Tamron 90mm covers full frame Sony A7II sensor.

There's a caterpillar on the bend. Caterpillar walking round the edge of a euphorbia leaf. Focus stacked using zerene

Flower weevil on ox-eye daisy. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene. Oshiro60mm

The hardest part of photographing this grasshopper was finding it in the first place! Very well camouflaged against these leaves.

manual focus, no tripod, moving subject, ... wasn't easy.. but I got it

Surely one of the most delightful insects?

A magical scene

Dragonfly in summer sun

In an insect world

 

By Henrhyde (gill)

 

Dragonfly drying out in sun – probably hatched out from Nymph stage .

Dragonflies do not live long – just days or a few weeks ,

In the nymph stage – they live for years , in mud in ponds .
