Insects, Butterflys, Moths and others.
All insects. I loved entomology in college, since moving to NC I finally get to see insects I only studied in books and not in person.

April 11, 2011-This is a six spotted tiger beetle (Cicendela sexguttata). I found him flying low to the ground; while the sun was hitting him the colors were dazzling. (Day 101:365 @sharkbayte)

on May 31, 2011This is a beautiful beetle, and you captured it really well. I looked it up in my insect field guide, and saw that it is only about an inch long--it's amazing how you shot it on the ground, from your chair, and got it so clearly and so sharp. We don't have them here in the west, but it would be fun to see one sometime. Good work! Thanks for commenting on my butterflies and hummingbird. More to come....
