Another Fly Day Friday - HFDF!

Behind my apartment in Overland Park, Kansas

Insecto (Macro)

Yep, you guessed it. That's the mighty mosquito hiding out under a leaf, just waiting for the next blood meal. If anything I was surprised it didn't pop out and suck my blood. Maybe I should name this female Bloody Mary ;)

Taken 17 June 2023 near Wasilla, Alaska.

This small geranium blossom holds a tiny world of insects. At first I did not see the spider

because the color of the flower camouflages it. It appears they are engaged in a battle.

In the field. Seeing quite a few of these the last couple of days...

The honeybee sharing some Thistle with an unknown insect

I don't know what kind of insect that is. Like a mosquito but bigger, like a fly but just sitting :-D

"Thank you very much for all your faves"

I was just certain this stem was the perfect place to be completely camouflaged.

Insecto (Macro)

Came across this scene in the garden - the victim struggled for a bit, then was still. Spiders...

Insect macro.
