Family : Nymphalidae

Subfamily : Satyrinae

Species : Coenonympha pamphilus

A British butterfly for a change. This is one I saw yesterday.

Tiny fly.

This is actually a Hybos, which is a genus of hybotid fly, not a tiny Robber fly as I first thought.

I think it's also known as a dance fly.

That's my finger behind it, so you can see it's only very small.

This little guy was hanging out on my porch the other day so I decided to see if I could capture a good picture with my only lense I have and I think it turned out pretty well!

Cache cache , vous me voyez ? Hide & seek, do you see me ?

the crane fly looks like a large mosquito but they are more related to flies rather than mosquitoes. they are also considered to be the largest group of flies. they are not known to bite animals nor people. the fly in the photo is around 6 cms long

Most of you know that I am terrified of all things with more than four legs but for the sake of the project I have to make the most of every photo opportunity. Unlucky guy has lost one of his leg.

A female common blue has seen better days. I imagine getting swept up in my sweep net didn't help.

I normally can't stand bugs of any shape or size, but I couldn't stop chasing this little guy around to get a shot of him.

I have no idea what kind of....

Kind of in-your-face. I apologize if you hate bugs! He is a thing of beauty, though, with his bright markings.

I'm off for a few days for the long Labor Day weekend. Happy clicking!

This is an insect that attacked me when I was in a prairie. I escaped it and while it was sitting peacefully I took this picture. I still have no clue what it is though. I looks like a cross between a mosquito and a bee to me.

The flower I thought was really pretty too as it seems to be a flower that has flowers growing on it in the center.
