Our lantana flowers are blooming again. The butterflies haven't found them, but the bees have...

Damselfly - Cleethorpes.

Ferocious beast with warts and spines making it less likely to be eaten. They moult four times and then pupate before emerging as an adult ladybird.

Spotted this ladybird resting on an aquilegia leaf in my garden. Ready to take flight with its wings beginning to open I had to act fast. A few images and it had flown.

Apologies for wrong name given.

Searching on internet it's a Rove Beetle (Ocypus ophthalmicus) original from Europe and Asia, but I'm in Cental America. How did it get here?

t is not often that these little 10mm jumping spiders sit still long enough for a focus stack. Luckily this one did. 10-image focus stack, tri-pod mounted. Even though this was at closest working distance (i.e. 270mm), they are so small that I still had to crop a fair bit.
