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.

  • Day 206- #365Project- Today was the day of the bug/insects. This big ole' grasshopper was just sitting on the patio today, he almost met my tires. (2010.007.25) @sharkbayte
  • #365Project - Day 207/365- Just hanging around making bubbles. It's a Robber Fly, he likes to make bubbles. I have more where he didn't have this bubble thing going on. (2010.07.26)

    Great shots of the dragonflies! I like this one especially because of its color and markings.

    This is the best of your dragonflies. Sharp, colorful, good dof. If you have a way to "mute" your flash or have a diffuser, try using a flash next time. These little jewels shine with colors that you won't see any other way. This year, I took more than 2,000 photos of dragonflies and damselflies, and the one thing I can tell you is ... we don't have anything in these blue-greens. Mostly red and black and white and a few blue darners which are uniform. I would have chased this guy around the ponds several times to get a shot like this. When I have a chance, I'll try and look this up in my field guides, though it would be easier if I knew whether you were western U.S., Northwest, or eastern.
