Les Gryllidae sont une famille d'Orthoptera ensifères, plus communément appelés grillons.

Taken in Douglas,Isle Of Man.

This fly refused to cooperate in the project of getting out of the room - so at least I was able to take some pics ;-)

One of the unusual long horn beetle found wondering among the wooden crafts at one of the souvenir store in Sangkhaburi's 3 pagodas border town. I removed it onto a pot of plant next to it. It has some black fur on its body and two pom-poms on its antennaes. It was well behave and posed for me for 5 minutes before flying off. Kanchanaburi, Thailand.

Waiting impatiently for these great posers to return. Winter has been loooong this year. Pachydiplax longipennis, Libellulidae. Central IL, Summer 2012.

Hoverfly Syrphus sp. Focus stacked using zerene

Size means nothing to a crab spider. This damselfly was gigantic in comparison, but the spider seized the damselfly and conquered it easily.
