I have no idea what kind of insect this is, but it was enjoying a visit on a daisy. Taken at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. With the Raynox in front of the 200-500.

I was hiding in the mint, trying to capture a nice macro of the bees who love the flowers and along came this big guy who decided the florets on the bottom of the bloom were more tasty...as a consequence, I was unable to see him/her long enough to identify the species...but definitely a pov that lets you see what it's like, down under a bee.

There are times I kneel down and study an insect for so long that I wonder what they are seeing as well. This bug-eyed beauty was quite willing to stay motionless for a prolonged period of time. I'm guessing I was quite mesmerizing! )

In portraiture crisp focus on the eyes is essential since they connect with the viewers and draw them into the frame. When it comes to eyes it's hard to beat the damselfly. Not only do they have incredible eyes, but they also have an interesting alien-like appearance that make them fun to shoot.

This colourful character is happilly munching my buddleia but I cant be mad with such a gorgeous creature!
