It's great having the mistflowers in the garden this time of year - so many butterflies...

A wee orange Lauxaniid in the garden, for Fly Day Friday - HFDF!

HBBBT hope you all have a good day! ;0) Think it's an ichneumon wasp but please do correct me if I'm wrong!

Seen on the trail in the woods. And Happy Fly Day Friday!

Spotted down in the weeds in the field...

Insecto (Macro)

Summer time and love is in the air. Happy times

Like assassin bugs nymphs, stilt bug nymphs molt several times as they mature. I happened to catch one in the process on this gaura stem. It looks like most of the exuvia is sitting on the stem. It would have made an interesting video, but I wouldn't have been steady enough...

This very small euryops daisy was opening, and this small wasp was exploring. It had quite a bit of company there...

I still think these guys have a great looking behind! HBBBT ;0)

chrysina

Phantom crane Fly

I took this shot back in June.

I have not encountered this species of insect since that day

Taken with my Nikon 105mm f2.8 lens

Halictus sp., I think...in a great source of pollen...

This one lit on a decaying ruellia, almost a golden color...

This tiny ant was crawling over a peony bud.

In the gardens I'm generally looking down. That morning, though, I happened to look up into a tree. There I saw this Nezara sp., hanging out on a Japanese maple seed. Smelled ok to me...

I think we're at peak butterfly right now...they're all over the mistflowers and asters...

Have a great day, anyone who can ID this flower please do so I can add to the tags. HBBBT

One shot with no modification

Cyrtolobus, sp., most likely. Strange little critters...

A chalcid wasp, I think, maybe Eurytoma sp. - very small. Love those antennae...
