This is my first shot of a dragonfly.He was very good and sat still for a couple of minutes. This was taken with the18-55mm kit lens, I don't have a macro lens.

Day 8~~Had to work for this one! It was worth it!

Five for Friday.....

 

#4 - I knew when we decided to take a trip & hike the parks in the southwest that I would have to deal with lizards, tarantula's, and possibly rattlesnakes. Saw plenty of lizards; fortunately no snakes; and was fortunate enough to see this guy from a safe distance at one of the stops in Zion National Park. Although it is my understanding that tarantula's are harmless, they are a bit large, furry, creepy, and crawly for my taste :-)

Oi! I was first. Two Andrena haemorrhoa mating whilst clinging to a tree. A second male has grasped the back of the female in an attempt to join in.

I eventually caught her in a pitcher and shoved her out the door. Why there was a beer pitcher in our breakroom is anyone's guess.

Just Hatched Dragonfly Brandon Woodlands . He was in the stinging nettles so had to use zoom on camera !!!!!

Nässelfjäril (Nymphalis urticae eller Aglais urticae), en av Sveriges vanligare och färgstarkare dagfjärilar.

De glest tandade vingarna är på ovansidan intensivt rödbruna. Det främre vingparet har längs framkanten en rad omväxlande svarta och vitgula fläckar. Varje framvinge har också en svart fläck vid bakre kanten och två mindre fläckar nära mitten. Bakvingarna är i den inre hälften svarta. Alla vingarna har längs periferin ett svart- och blåfläckigt band. Vingbredden är 48-52 mm.

Clock wise, starting from the right: #9, #13, #11, #10, #12 and #7

This female Eupeodes sp. hoverfly was flying around some grass looking for aphids to lay eggs near. Natural light
