... with a long neck. It was moving its head with neck like a giraffe.

Do you ever feel like that? Weather has turned dreich and grey and I am feeling bored - definitely feeling waspish...Lol!! A wasp on our white walls - from a day of sunshine :-))

Sorry it is another bug! He was cleaning his wings when I took this.

Found this insect in my house, I have no clue what this is...

I love the structure in the wings!

I'm looking forward to spring, there will be much more insects to take macro shots of...

We found this aquatic insect during a romp through an urban stream in Silver Springs, Maryland. It was a cool, rainy day -- but delightful.

I would appreciate any help identifying the specific species. It looks a bit like a mayfly larvae, but its form is different from most of the species I am more familiar with.

This picture was taken in Sinharaja Forest Reserve - Sri Lanka

Life and death in Arthropods. The large bug is attacking one of the bees, Apis, that visited the butterflyweed, Asclepias tuberosa, in my wife's flower garden. I didn't hang around to see the rest of this episode. I probably should have.

Any help in identifying the predator would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! (Licht~~~~ has identified this insect as a Rhynocorus. I am grateful. I'll go with that, unless someone has a different suggestion.)

Larger sizes are available. Thanks for looking.
