Resin treat....While the vast majority of wasps play no role in pollination, a few species can effectively transport pollen and therefore contribute for the pollination of several plant species, being potential or even efficient pollinators and thus they are crucial to the survival of their host plants.

I had a bit of a dragonfly bonanza day today. Got shots of three different types of widow skimmer dragonflies. They held still, and there were plenty of them. I'm wondering if they like my butterfly bushes or something else? I am mostly fascinated by and focusing on their heads and eyes so sometimes the wings aren't in perfect focus. There will be more dragonfly pictures so hope my friends don't get tired of them!

My first jumping spider, and isn't he a beauty. They have the most wonderful eyes, so perfectly smooth.
He was tiny, probably only 4 mm long and was a difficult subject. This was focus stacked from 3 images to get the required depth of field. He was walking up a wall so I quickly built a set for him and coaxed him onto it, he was a bit quick, but sat still for a few seconds while I grabbed the three shots for this stack. I put him back on the wall after the shoot so he could go on hunting. I wish there were more jumpers around...
Just to say a big thank you for all your comments & faves that put yesterday's shot on Explore FP, thank you all :)) Had enough of the snow so back to sunnier climes for this shot. Have a great day everyone!
Teşekkürler Nuray for spotting this in Explore #241 05/02/09

This unidentified spider with pinkish/reddish head and green legs with yellow/white body with a black marking similar to Batman's bat logo/icon was photographed at the NAPWC July 4.
He was not terminated after the shoot. He was gently returned where we found him.

"Knock on Wood" Week is now over. :( Thanks so much for sharing in this tribute to all things wood...I hope you weren't board. Ha! Board, not bored...get it? OK, nevermind.
Hand-Hewn Door: I have to admit--out of nearly a dozen wood photos this week, I saved my absolute favorite for last. An old, weathered door like this is so steeped in history and character, that as a photographer you hope to capture & convey some of its rich storytelling.
Happy Wide-Open Sunday!
