Semble être un éristale tenace, mais à confirmer

Not sure of the id, seems to be a common drone fly (eristalis tenax)

I don't remember seeing this insect before. Is anyone familiar with them? This year, they're all over the yard. They love to gather in close groups.

I was walking in Heartwood Forest in Sandridge and spotted this beautiful dragonfly hovering over a pond. I have tried to photograph dragonflies in flight before with no luck as they tend to dart about - hence the name I guess! On this occasion I got lucky.

Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly I raised in 2018.

Species of Eurydema are dramatically coloured, usually red and black bugs, but often with other colour morphs. The red and black form of this species can be distinguished from the smaller E. dominulus by the presence of dark marks along the edge of the corium. E. ornata also has a pale morph in which the ground colour is whitish-yellow.

Thank you for your visit, kind comments and fave. Always greatly appreciated.*_^

I thought I would give insect photography a go. It's really hard to train insects. :)

It is always amazing to see the detail in the dragonflies. So many varieties and color variations.

This one was new to me, looked a little like a crane fly, but the head is different. Identified by the Seek IOS app. Those are some long legs...

This bee couldn't wait for the mutabilis rose to open, and gave a nice view of that abdomen - Happy Bug Butt Thursday!
