Plant bug - think it's Deraeocoris flavilinea

Cereal leaf beetle in the grass. Focus stacked using zerene

In our garden

Found this leaf bug (katydid) in Rosalind Park yesterday morning, didn't notice it until I was looking closely at the plant it is on, wanted a shot of the red leaves with water drops with some green in the background, I think this is better though!

I sat for hours by the pond to try

to catch them flying. This is as clear

picture as I could get

These were everywhere in the grasses on the track from the Centre of NZ to our home.

Doing the unspeakable.

Just finished up winterizing the pool I manage during the summer. I take a look around to see if I missed something during clean up and I noticed this praying mantis sitting pretty by the side of the pool. This is a photo opportunity!!!

Caught these two at it after I was trying to get one of them in flight (failed miserably) taken with my 70-300mm APO lens

Interesting and unusual "alien" insect

Found a cold and slightly damp nomada bee sitting on a Philadelphus leaf the other morning. Focus stacked using zerene

I rescued this libel from my house...It flew inside and couldn't get out anymore...

This fly allowed me take his photo as he considered what he was going to do next. I like the cool pattern on his wings.

Green Shieldbug - Palomena prasina, in it's overwintering colouring

My first Skipper. Sunday 17 June 2012. 13:31. Hampstead Heath, London N6.

I'm not sure if its a big or small skipper. I'm going to plump for Large Skipper(Ochlodes venata). I've no idea what the other insect is. Update: Many thanks to Harryf2011 below for confirming it is a large Skipper www.flickr.com/photos/harrylepidopterist/

Stinger but he does pollinate, too.
