Larvae of Cimbex quadrimaculatus (Hymenoptera, Cimbicidae) according to this post.
Found on a sour cherry tree in early June in central Serbia (South-Eeast Europe).
that was me - all over the place with this - simply nothing to lean on so this is about as good a shot as I can manage in natural light with reversed lens and absolutely no stabilisers...
Lots of breath holding with this one...

I've never seen a yellow ladybird before, and seeing as it has no real spots, I'm not convinced that this is a ladybird at all. But, except for the lack of spots, it LOOKS like a ladybird.

This Goldenrod Soldier Beetle (Chauliognathus pensylvanicus) appears to have just returned from war ;)
"Kamala" is lotus.. Brahma is God, Creator..
The flowers begin to bloom from the corners of the plant’s big leaves . They start blooming only after sunset around 7 PM, bloom fully around 10 - 11 PM, stay for one hour and then start withering
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth
Chorus:
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

Megacerus discoidus bug on morning glory. I usually hide the urban surroundings of my photo site area by cropping out the man made objects. I could have done so in this photo, but thought I would give a peek at where I get a lot of my shots. This one was taken in the back of an auto repair station where morning glories regale the chain link fence. In the right background is a truck in the parking lot behind the shop.
Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand--Never had gotten a good look at these hover fly's mouth parts. The proboscis really stretches out so it can reach the nectar deep in flowers. Used Canon 100L IS lens with 25mm ext tube.
Two Southern Hawkers (Aeshna cyanea)/ Blue Darners.
I was so glad I caught them, even when making out they're fast...;)

orange ladybug with a herd of aphids on goldenrod at the John Jeffries House garden
for those of you who may not know, photographing ladybugs is one of the biggest challenges for nature photographers. they are notoriously reclusive and avoid the camera lens relentlessly, moving into the bushy environment on opposite sides of stems and leaves making it difficult to get a lens near them. when you do actually get a shot, it is almost guaranteed to get glare, because of the domelike wing shells.
however, when you do get a good shot you are almost always surprised by what you get. for example, in this shot, I had no idea there were so many aphids on the plant, I was just trying to get a relatively well focused shot of the ladybug with the front helmet and antenna in the image.
water droplet with reflection (and refraction) in a yellow rose. the circle in the middle of the droplet is probably my camera lens and what looks like solar flares around it is probably cloud formations behind me. the droplet sat on a petal where it formed a ridge. I only took about three or four shots before the lens touched the droplet and the scene was gone.
This waterdrop was hanging about 1.5 meters above me inside the Cool House. Thou I was using my Sigma 150 mm, there was no way I could get it closer to full my frame. Guess it’s my beginner’s luck to get it this sharp and clear :)
The refraction inside the waterdrop is actually the Cool House itself. The blue color is the top glass ceiling roof against the blue sky.
