Carpenter Bee on my Buddleia Shrub

Hoverfly - Rhingia campestris - Highdown gdns. Natural light.

I only very rarely see these in my own garden but they were all over the place at Highdown

Marmalade hoverfly. Episyrphus balteatus. Focus stacked using zerene

多分アオスジアゲハです

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

Tamron 90mm, handheld with flash.

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

Not a very strong shot but I guess I was quite pleased unlike some of my contacts I have had little success photographing insects, the very fact i manage to get a reasonable focus on this one is for me a minor miracle. Another more embarrassing problem is my total lack of knowledge about these creatures I am sure they are very common I am guessing dragonflies but ID would be good ( I was wrong of course they are damselflies thanks Marja)

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

To see keithhull's photos on Flickriver

Not sure what this is.I know that it was FAST.

A hairy yellow caterpillar.

This bug did resemble an ant at first.

None of the flies (or other insects) in my photos are frozen or dead. None have been manually 'posed'. All are photographed alive and well in their natural environment, unless they are being killed or eaten by another insect in the photo.

Sympetrum sanguineum

this brightly coloured insect is a cardinal beetle, seen near hockenhull platts cheshire

My best guess of the genus it belongs to. It is only about a half inch wide and is very common in the understory of plants along the bay shoreline.

MLK Shoreline RP, Oakland, CA

I think the mayfly was already dead when the wasp found him but was the wasp feeding on the mayfly?

Thank you for your visit, comments or faves.

حشره غريبة عجيبة سبحان الله وهي حساسة جداً وتعلم بشكل جيد ما يدور حولها حتى لو أنك ظننت بأنها لا ترى شيئاً .
