This ones a Ischnura from the Coenagrionidae family.

Not sure about the exact species though. Could be any one of these 3 - Ischnura aurora / Ischnura senegalensis /Ischnura forcipata

But good luck for this tiny spider which was enjoying its lunch as I approached with my camera.

Cephonodes hylas

I think the swamp is beautiful close up and this is the season for butterflies. The only problem was, I had on the 400mm lens which is not the best butterfly lens.

Damselfly I presume

Twin-lobed Deerfly - Gewone Goudoogd(w)aas - Chrysops relictus. (8mm in size), feeding on my finger.

Thumbs up! :-D

Hoverfly Helophilus pendulus

It is hard to believe that a tiny Crab Spider has the speed and power (poison bite) to subdue a Honey Bee. I have seen it a few times before. This time the bee was taking Hummingbird nectar and the spider managed to get up to the feeder.

The sunset was beautiful tonight....and was what called me out with camera in hand...but this little insect love affair caught my eye! This is cropped in a bit, but I was really pleased with the results from a very hurried shot taken with the Olympus 12-40.

I do not know insects any better than I do flowers.
