My good friend Peter EW&F suggested that I improve my bug trap to save the Honey Bees.
I haven't caught any Honey Bees yet mostly flies and ants but I improved it anyway just incase, I can now open the lid and let them out.
See original trap below.
Have a great day!

CC Week 19 - It's the Little Things
While taking flower photos at sunset I noticed that as it got later, more and more insects started to appear. Crane flies live only briefly in their adult phase, and are much more destructive in their larval stage when they can damage lawns and other plants. Adult crane flies do not eat very often. When they do, it might be sipping on nectar, as this one was attempting to do. Since they live most successfully in areas where there is plenty of water, it makes sense that they would do well in a wetter than usual year like this one.

Another of Emily's session. This time enjoying her lady bug toy. Quite difficult pose but in the end she embraced it. I hope you like the results.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

This beautiful female Blue Dasher sure did give this sick old lady a wonderful opportunity for lots of photos. I really enjoyed her. Hot summer here and I still can't get out anywhere. Thank You, Jesus, for beautiful bugs in God's garden!
For Macro Mondays theme; "Multicolor. HMM!
*(I found this little bug crawling around in our woodpile. He was too cute to dispatch, so I decided to leave him there. His face measures one and a half inches wide, by one and three quarters inches from chin to top of his antennas.)
A tiny striped bug on a Scotch thistle.
When I first saw this, I wasn't even sure it was a bug. Then it started to move. The camera can see better than my eyes!
Maybe it's the nymph of a stinkbug? I'm not an entomologist.
I have no idea who this insect is, but I do know its legs are more than twice as long as its body. I'm imagining one of those monster movies set in maybe the downtown streets of Los Angeles among the skyscrapers. It's coming down the street King Kong size and all the people are scattering, screaming in horror running for their lives. Actually just a wildflower find a couple of years ago, on some lupine. Have a nice day.
I think this is a nymph of the white-margined burrowing bug, Sehirus cinctus. It was nestled in among the leaves, though, so I couldn't get a good look...
