The great Meteor Storm of May 31st turned out to be a drizzle, but the lightning bugs and one good meteor all came together to make that 3a shoot worth it!
I stopped by the lake yesterday in our smokey environment (thus the coloring). The smoke must have driven the insects lower, as the swallows, and this hummingbird, were having a grand time with the selection of tasty treats!
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!
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.

*(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.)
Here is another angle of this Rare Jagged Ambush Bug from last summer. You can see his horns a bit better on this image.

It's not easy to see, but there are four bugs gathered on the petals of this flower; I imagine they were discussing politics, or where to go to lunch. Maybe they were just gossiping about Sally in accounting. They wouldn't let me in on the conversation, so I really couldn't say with much authority and am completely speculating.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
