Insects...

Great bug shots as the season turns...

Love the all.

Good closeup, Gio67, : ) I still have to find one to get that close...

Birma;

Most striking likeness of the wings to the leaves the butterfly rests on. An unusual encounter!

And the ladybuggy appears to be tangled in there! : ) Nice clear shot, Birma.

I think I'm a little envious of these shots.

Thanks Greg and Yildiz . Perhaps 60mm is a bit short for butterfly chasing, but i was struggling to get the shot and get enough dof. More practise needed .

I saw many of these large Bumble Bees today and managed to catch one on the Camassia.

Thanks Greg - I think they were slower yesterday which gave me a better chance .

Hi Birma, : )

Good shot of the busy buddy... and lovely closeup of the Camassia also.

Good to know that the only honey producers as we know it are hard at work... : )) Can't think of Earth without honey!

That's a nifty bug aa los banos, I don't think I've ever seen that one before, and I've seen a few.

Most impressive Cartoon bug shot, aa los Banos. : )

The oddest of colours make for a very interesting striped outfit for this little buddy!

thanks birma/greg/aster! i just called it that way, i really don't know from what species it belongs



one of my jumper images....

[Birma]

Wow AA . Another amazing image. I've never seen such amazing reflections in a spider's eye. If this is jumper then this is not a view I would have enjoyed unless it was a very long lens .

I guess aa will give us some short courses on photography. Well done!

[Greg Beetham]

Great spider aa los banos, what magnification was that at?
