Lacy bee wings

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Seen at a very impressive display of carnivorous plants at The Calyx, in Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden.

in the garden today.

I found this insect on my car today, so I took it home to photograph as I have not seen one of these before. Does anyone know what it is please?

I really have no idea what kind of insect is this. Really appreciate if anyone can tell me about that. Thanks.

Tephritid fly Chetostoma curvinerve male. The day after the male on male fight, I managed to temporarily trap one of the males and do some focus stacks using zerene. You can see the fierce row of bristles they have jutting forward on their face. I think the males must lock these together in their head to head shoving matches

Megachile sp., Megachilidae. 2716 Dutch Lane, McKean Township, Licking County, Ohio.

To get the queen wasp away from the fly, I enticed it onto my finger with some sugar/honey syrup.

I spent an hour shooting dragonflies and butterflies at the pond and after almost falling in, I finally managed to get a couple of good shots.

I'm happy I was able to snap a shot of this ant on a stem, he was moving really fast at times. I used a 21mm extension tube on my EF50mm f/1.8 II lens for this shot.

Found a cold and slightly damp nomada bee sitting on a Philadelphus leaf the other morning. I managed to move it to a camellia petal on a low wall for easier shooting. Focus stacked using zerene
