Oak Bush-cricket (m) - Meconema thalassinum 1b by Dluogs

1

A male Oak Bush-cricket - Meconema thalassinum, that flew in through an open window at night. This has to be one of the least photogenic backgrounds an insect subject of mine has chosen - a battered Sainsbury's carrier bag. Badger Farm, Winchester, Hampshire, UK, 26th August 2012.

OS Grid Ref: SU4627 Note - Latitude and Longitude not exact - I have shown it in the middle of the housing estate to avoid giving exact address.

Dragonfly in My Front Yard on Orchid Spike by Ron

3 14

This dragonfly was resting on an old flowering spike on an orchid. It was small and I was several metres away so these images were taken on quite high digital zoom. The Canon SX1-IS is much better on digital zoom than the S3-IS is. This was later afternoon but at times some sunlight fell on the dragonfly. I have 3 photos here looking the same, but each one is different. Hope you like them.

A backyard visitor. Bird activity must be down when you find yourself photographing insects. Still, lots of fun.

This medium-sized butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red, and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings.

he moved from a leaf to a drainpipe, but we won't hold that against him. Check it out large to see his bug eyes.

Dragonfly! by 〠。✧　Megami　✧。❀ ✵キ♡キ✵

I have this other hobby where I take pictures of insects and arachnids and cry over needing a better macro lens.

I'm not entirely sure what kind of dragonfly this is yet, but I'll look it up, unless someone else would like to ID it for me. It was at a gas station in California in the desert-y area between Modesto and Fresno.

Green gold Beetle ? by Paul McLoughlin

Looks like a Rose chafer (or goldsmiths Beetle). However the antennae and triangle above the wing cases are dissimilar. Anyone help with definitive identification?
