Anyone know what this thing is? / It has the head and front legs of a Praying Mantis, and the / backend is like a wasp. I love its eyes… Photo taken in Central Florida, if that helps anyone identify it. / I have about 12 more shots from different angles if anyone is interested.

VIEW LARGE ON BLACK I think this is a black and yellow Mud Dauber. (If you know different let me know :) ) Sceliphron caementarium They are solitary insects that build nests out of mud in sheltered locations, frequently on man-made structures such as bridges, barns, open porches or under the eaves of houses. These nests are not aggressively defended, and stings are rare. The black and yellow mud dauber’s nest is comprised of a series of cylindrical cells that are plastered over to form a smooth nest that may attain nearly the size of a human fist. After building a cell, the female wasp captures several spiders. The captured prey are stung and paralyzed before being placed in the nest, and then a single egg is deposited on the prey within each cell. The wasp then seals the cell with mud. After finishing a series of cells, she leaves and does not return. Eventually, the hatching larva will eat the prey and emerge from the nest. There are some 30 other species of Sceliphron that occur throughout the world, though in appearance and habits they are quite similar to S. caementarium. S. caementarium is widespread in Canada, the United States, Central America and the West Indies, and has been introduced to many Pacific Islands (including Australia, Hawaii and Japan), Peru and Europe, where it has become established in the western Mediterranean Basin.

We had very much wasps in our garden and that’s not funny, folks! So we tried to find their nest, and found out it was made in a wooden sleeper in our yard. / We did everything to destroy these ‘devils’, but nothing worked. / At least we demolished the wooden sleeper, and so their nest too…. Shame on us??? Maybe, but would you like waspstings? / On this picture you see a wasp, just born. / (Gouda, Holland) Used camara: Canon Powershot S3 IS – focussed on supermacro

This morning this little Wasp invated the hummingbird’s feeder. Thought this was interesting while he took his time exploring and feeding off each entrance.

These wasps look so very mean, but I guess they are not any meaner than the rest of them! The Rhody is one of several we have, and it was stunning this spring. :) /

Again, I suppose I will not give up until I have a clear animated shot of a fly, so here I go again….As for this fly he just would not move as if he was watching me all they way!!!

Featured in Nikon DSLR Users Group 22nd August 2009 / Just got my brand spanking new Tamron 90mm macro lens today, yippee, had a quick go in the back garden on the remnant of what left, flower wise, this is my very first shot of a wasp on a African Marigold, I hope to improve on this, I am impressed with it anyway. / Shot with a Nikon d300 and Tamron 90mm macro lens / Handheld / f5 / 1/1600 sec could have gone a bit slower for more DOF I suppose / ISO 200

Saw this little fella struggling on our patio floor, was going pretty slow so thought it was a great excuse to try out the new Tamron 90mm macro lens and start getting used to using it, quite a lot were rubbish shots, really finding it difficult to get the right bits in focus as the DOF is so minute. Not finding proper macro work that easy at the moment….. / This was a handheld shot and I Tried this one at f9, 1/500sec at ISO 250, perhaps an even smaller aperture but up the ISO to perhaps ISO 500 to get more DOF, any advice.. / I have also cropped this shot…. / Shot with a Nikon D300 and tamron 90mm macro / f9 / 1/500 sec / ISO 250 /

This is a cartoon character I created. I have lots of plans for this little guy. Image was hand drawn then scanned into the computer. Touch ups done post-processing to enhance detail and colors.

Skipper (butterfly) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A skipper is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae, and superfamily Hesperioidea (there is only family in this superfamily). They are named after their quick, darting flight habits. There are more than 3500 recognized species of skippers and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity occurring in the tropical regions of Central and South America. All butterflies other than skippers are classified into either the superfamily Papilionoidea or the neotropical superfamily Hedyloidea. Collectively, these three groups of butterflies share many characteristics, especially in the egg, larval and pupal stage (Ackery et al. 1999). However, skippers have the antennae clubs hooked backward like a crochet hook, while regular butterflies have club-like tips to their antennae and hedylids have feathered or pectinate antennae, giving them an even more moth-like appearance than skippers. Skippers also have generally stockier bodies than the other two groups, with stronger wing muscles. Hesperioidea is very likely the sister group of Papilionoidea, and together with Hedyloidea constitute a natural group or clade. There are about 3500 species of skippers.

A beautiful small wasp, the Yellow Paper Wasp. They grow to 12mm in length, and this one was about that, feeding on lunch. They live in large paper nests, that can be up to 1 metre long. If you ever find a nest of these wasps, good thing to stay clear, they defend their homes aggressively, with painful stings. Photographed in the Mt. Cootha Botanical Gardens, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Canon 5D Mk II, 65mm, 2x. Available Large and definately best appreciated large! :)
