  • August 27, 2011-Caught another Promachus - Giant Robber Fly in the field by some power line towers. I was actually looking for some dragon flies but never saw any. The winds started picking up over night. So I am going to post early while I still have power. Stay safe everyone. (239:365)
  • August 18, 2011-Just a quick shot of this grasshopper deciding on which of my tomato plants to land on. He moved on quick as soon as I tried to refocus on him. (230:365)
  • August 10, 2011-Living on the edge. Found this ambush nymph with a passenger in a field. Posting late today again…(222:365)
  • August 8, 2011-Mug Shot. I swear he has lips and mustache. This is handheld, and could be a lot better, but thought the face was interesting even with the five o'clock shadow/stubble. (220:365)
  • August 7, 2011-Caught the giant Red footed Cannibalfly mating. They didn't move as I got closer to them to photograph. (219:365)
  • August 4, 2011- A True Katydid - Pterophylla camellifolia. Found this guy on the lattice which is part of my deck. He was hiding in between two pieces of lattice work. Posting very late today. (216:365)
  • July 31, 2011-Found this ambush nymph on the gate to my ramp. I nearly crushed him with my fingers, as I was grabbing the gate. (212:365)

  • August 3, 2011 - This is a Giant Robber Fly "Species Promachus rufipes Red footed Cannibalfly". He landed on the leaf above where I was shooting the red dragonfly, he seemed to be checking out what was going on, I snapped this and he took off. (215:365)
