Taken this past September behind my mother’s condo. Dozens of bees were in her garden, looking for nectar in the flowers. I just pulled my chair up next to the garden and snapped away!

The Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae, a striking, bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae, subfamily Heliconiinae. These were formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies. It is not closely related to the true fritillaries. It is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of from 6 to 9.5 cm. Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots. It takes its name from the fact that migrating flights of the butterflies are sometimes seen over the Gulf of Mexico. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- 2009 BUTTERFLIES CALENDAR / / / / / / Or a T-Shirt to go along with /

i finally got a chance this past weekend to go hit my favorite spot in cades cove, sparks lane. / while just walking down the road, some flowers were blooming, this particular bug was having a time on this one bloom. / after closer inspection of this insect, i thought it was too cool. its amazing what you see in the “little world” when shooting macros. you realize just how things so small have such a huge impact on the larger things. / I was worried i might chase this little guy off, it was eating and cleaning itself, with its “hands” that look like crab claws. / it actually reminded me of what we view as dinosaurs, with it’s hard shelled body and unique features / so who is to say dinosaurs are extinct? they still exist, it’s just they have adapted to modern day life, maybe something humans need to learn how to do? / best to view this larger / i shot this macro using a nikon diopter lens attached to a canon 75-300mm lens

As the bell rang for round 1, the sellout crowd was clearly rooting for the heavy underdog, ” The Green Katydid”. But this “winner-eat-all” Texas Deathmatch was over before it began .Displaying some fancy footwork and blinding speed , the Mantis quickly got the Katydid in a vicelike headlock. Although the Katydid’s corner claimed / the blood was the result of an intentional headbutt, the Mantis was declared the clear winner. Afterwards, he spoke of taking some well-deserved time off, but vowed to return next fall to defend his title. Stay tuned !!!

As I was photographing this mantis, this katydid suddenly landed about 6 inches away. For about 30 seconds, they faced off, sizing each other up. Shockingly, not only did the katydid NOT back down, but he actually began slowly inching menacingly towards the mantis. B-I-G mistake ! In a nanosecond, the mantis lurched / forward , then grabbed & tightly gripped the katydid’s legs and head. This photo was / taken at the moment of 1st impact! The mantis goes right for the thorax and draws first blood. Nature in action !

With the heavy rains knocking out cable TV, this poor guy attempts to pick up his favorite show using his own antennae. Unfortunately, as you can see, he was only able to tune in to the Home & Garden Network!

I caught this Robber Fly as he was about to break into my back door. He was quickly apprehended and is currently awaiting sentencing !
