Can't wait for the insects...I hate winters.

Grey Hairstreak Butterfly

Something a little different: Black corsair assassin bug (Melanolestes picipes) Dick Nichols Park, Austin, 3/22/19. 12-20 mm long. Feeds on other insects, can inflict a painful bite if handled, but does not transmit disease with its bite (unlike some other true bugs.)

Would be close to the biggest I've seen one of these.

I have had quite a few people ask me if some of my macro images are focus stacked. The answer is no. All my macro images are single shot images. I have nothing against focus stacking, in fact I am a big fan of Eddie The Bugman who posts some awesome images and I realise the work that goes into these focus stacks and as said Eddie and a few others post some tremendous images.

Focus stacking is something I may try at some time but for the time being I will stick to single images. Messingham nature reserve, North Lincolnshire

Macro Insect

Help - I've run out of fuel - a honey bee rescue. After a good feed on my finger I placed it on a mollis azalea flower to recover. Focus stacked using zerene

Hylaeus bee on potentilla. First I've seen this year - around 6mm body length. Focus stacked using zerene

Le Silène (Brintesia circe), grand papillon dont la taille avoisine les 7 cm ne passe pas inaperçu en vol qu'il a puissant et décidé. Au sol c'est une autre histoire car il a l'art du camouflage en se posant sur des supports, roches, pierres ou troncs souvent recouverts de lichens qui lui permettent de se fondre totalement dans le décor. Il n'offre très souvent que son verso et a la particularité de pondre en vol.
