Thanks to Oscar Cadena-Castaneda for the family and species ID. New family for my insect image collection.
Looks like some type of grasshopper, but I found many of these on a rock.
Never seen this one before.
Chicaque, Cundinamarca, Colombia
My set up for this shot is handheld 5D mounted with 100mm macro and 580EXii flash with homemade diffuser.
Not an easy task as you know this fellow is very small and hyper active but luckily on that day, there isn't windy.
This fly refused to cooperate in the project of getting out of the room - so at least I was able to take some pics ;-)
Species of beefly? Any ID suggestions greatly appreciated? Photographed in August 2007.
Santa Fe National Forest, New Mexico, USA.

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.
Spotted the first bumble bee of 2014 in my garden yesterday. It was hanging upside down in a variegated holly bush. I tried holding the twig it was on further down to steady it and get a better angle but the bee felt the heat from my finger and started walking towards it. It happily walked onto my finger to warm up. Bombus terrestris
