This hopper is of a different breed from the one which I took the last time. The pattern on its body is actually quite nice..looks like an armour.

A small insect feeding on some cow parsley flowers.

These creatures are as dangerous (to other insects) as they look in this macro.

insect, macro

I showed this picture to a local. He told me it was very easy to tell that this ant was a male, despite most of them being female.

I have no idea how that is.

Macro Insects.

This spider lived on my porch for 2 months, I happened to have my camera as she snared a wasp.

On a quick trip home to Montana before school starts next week,I had a great time with my grandson examining the bushes and flowers around our home.I never realized there were so many insects in Montana! I guess I just had to open my eyes to a different world. Thanks everyone!

This fly allowed me take his photo as he considered what he was going to do next. I like the cool pattern on his wings.

It seems like daisies attract the most interesting bugs. I know, I've checked!

Dường như đến hẹn lại lên, 2 hôm nay cứ gặp em này hoài. Chụp, chụp & chụp... ảnh này ánh sáng nền tự nhiên nhưng giống như được set up trong studio. Lại hên nữa rồi...

Seen on a fern in the garden

She was sat in the shade; was probably a little chilly and so didn't move for ages. Then went nuts.

My son has found them yesterday inside our house, trapped on the windowsill. We have decided to rescue them and release them to the world. The weather was glorious, the temperature was balmy 14oC and Spring was in the air!! On days like these life is good!! :D
