I continue to aspire towards Loupey's greatness Though I'm settling for some mostly in focus cool teeny critters as I improve.
I've got tons of dragonflies and damselflies so I'll do a separate thread with those. Also with most of the butterflies... except for the Red Spotted Purple I snuck in here.
1. Hairy Flower Scarab Beetle. Neat little guys. You can't tell in this angle but these guys are very good bumblebee mimics.
2. Hoverfly. Love his abdomen pattern. The flower he's on was smaller than the tip of my pinky finger.
3. Red Spotted Purple
4.Spider of some sort
5. Another bug with a pretty pattern...
6. Flower Longhorn Beetle
7. Slug eating grass
8 Camel Cricket.
9. Bumblebee or Carpenter Bee
10 Leafhopper
11 Bee Mimic Hoverfly
12 Fly on our yarrow
13
14 I missed the focus on this, but I find it amusing
15 Another little hoverfly
16 ??? I have no idea what this is. It looks more like a bee than a fly to me, but I'm clueless.
17 Jumping Spider
18 A little closer
19 Some sort of metallic wood borer? If it was green I'd bee afraid it was an emerald ash borer, but this guy was blue-black.
