Bee captured in mid-flight, flying with his tongue out.
This was just a lucky catch. My wife got some tulips for her birthday and I took one out as the sun was setting to try a get a nice shot. I put the vase down & as soon as I turned my back I heard the hummer behind me, I turned back around and had time to get off one shot before she realized she wasn’t interested in tulips. / Captured in Cave Creek, Arizona, with a Canon 20D.

Predatory Australian fly called a “Robber Fly” – looks like it has a mask on. Photo taken in situ in grassland north of Melbourne with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 150mm macro lens balanced on my knees while I waited for the wind to stop! It’s one of my favorite photos because it was bloody hot and it took an hour following this beastie around before I got a suitably sharp one – it was riding this like a cowboy!

This hoverfly mistakenly wandered into the forbidden “hippie section” of my backyard garden!
Just another day in Hoverfly heaven !
The “all you can eat” Labor Day Weekend Buffet continues! After polishing off the Daddy Long Legs spider, the same mantis went back for seconds. Here, the mantis has just caught a Flower Fly and is polishing off some wings. Hey-Save some for dessert!!!

Matted Print Sold – Thank you! I spent countless hours the past 2 summers trying to obtain that certain bee in flight shot. I have several images but none of them were quite what I had hoped for and envisioned. The 70-200 faster lens was used, the macro with and without flash – every shutter speed setting, DOF, you name it…I tried it! I also assumed I could not obtain a focused in flight shot using my macro, with flash, and a 1/200 ss. I believe I was wrong :o) Even with the proper settings, and prime conditions, obtaining the proper timing with these busy little bees is an art in itself! / Bugs are Beautiful / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST /
A lot of ‘ladies’ came out of hiding this weekend with the beautiful, warm temperatures we had. I searched high & low almost all summer looking for ladybirds and found just a few. This weekend made up for it, however, as they were EVERYWHERE! / / Bugs are Beautiful / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

I caught this hoverfly dropping in for a quick snack just as a colorful raindrop landed on his wing !
I captured these mating flies in the backyard this afternoon. After snapping a few pix, they would fly away, still attached to each other and land in a new spot. I”m not sure which spot I liked best ,so I am posting Mating Flies (1), (2), & (3). Which one do you like best ?
