And for a little break from the insects, here are some flowers, sans critters.

Nice cool morning at Cypress Gardens. Not as many insects out, but the ones that were there were slower and less skittish.

Lots of dragonflies.

And, a sleepy frog on the way out of to the parking lot. I had to perch somewhat precariously on a pile of stones covering a culvert to get close enough, but I was careful, and successfully got several shots without incident.

This poor fellow was missing his left front leg. I guess it's not as big a deal when you have 6 to start with, and only live a few weeks anyway.

Couldn't resist another outing while the weather is cooler.

He won the stare down contest.

Gotta do some research and find out what this little guy is.

This leaf caught my eye and I channeled the Pup's artist side. I should have taken several at different focus points and done a focus stack, but I thought I had it all in focus. Still, I like it.

There are going to be a lot of little green spiders around soon.

Very nice photos but you sure have some colorful bugs. Around here a standard Ladybug and a Monarch butterfly is about as colorful as our bugs get.

I would have said the same thing, until I started photographing them. We don't have the variety they do in tropical areas. A lot of the insects look very plain until you photograph them and look at them under magnification.

You seem to know a lot about the ID of the things... I found this on the front of the UTV after I drove through the woods picking up the cards from the security cams around the farm... It's creepy looking, about halfway between a quarter and a half dollar size, and had part of it's web on the front of the UTV as well.

It looks a bit like a crab. :lol: But the hairs make it look creepy.

I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.
