Yellow

Big bee fly bug thing that is mosly yellow.

This fellow was on the handrail at the Greenway bridge at work. He just walked around on it as I took pictures.

Macro

Fly up close

Macro two bugs on a leaf

Interesting colors I think.

Out on a limb

Just setting up the camera for macro shots can be a chore at times. Funny how sometimes you just catch something at just the right time.

Spider in a web

Sometimes I feel like this spider.

Fly

Up close and personal, I like this shot but it's a bit difficult to get them to stay still long enough to get a shot of them.

Lady

Climbing to the top, I haven't seen many ladybugs or ladybirds this season. It's beginning to get cold and I'm not sure if I will.

I really do like these little guys, need to get out there and take more macros.

Up close

After trying to get some good shots last week this little guy landed on a bush close by just as I was loading my stuff back intot the trunk. Had to pull everything back out set up the tripod and even though he took off several times he came right back.

Piggy back

Not sure what is really going on here. :)

Dark

On a Cruise, 2008 at a butterfly farm in St. Thomas, USVI

Just off the docks.

On Top of the World

Ladybug, taken in my side yard on a Gardenia bush.

Spider

This guy was just hanging around outside at work.

Caterpillar

Monarch caterpillar, I think this one was taken at my parent's house, not really sure though. I need to modify my backyard to be more butterfly friendly.

Bug

Still going through some older shots here is some sort of bug on a cherry tomato I was growing last year.

Bokeh

A very common butterfly in the south eastern US a Soldier - Danaus. It's very common in my mother's backyard.

Stalking

Spider in air, actually he was on his web but you can't really see it. I generally do a lot of insect/flower/nature photography, generally I think that they don't complain about getting their photo taken and I don't feel funny about taking it. I may have a phobia.

Mantis

I've only photographed a preying mantis twice as far as I can remember. The nicest thing about them is that the stay relatively still and do not spook easily.

Ladybug

Sometimes you see these little critters all over and at other times not at all. Maybe it's the season maybe not. The next several weeks I'm digging back in time and showing photos from the past.

Eggs

I watched butterflies, actually called Queen's, land on a Passion Vine and lay egg after egg. Here is one on the end of a vine runner.
