He looks BIG!!! Did you know that they can catch and kill hummingbirds? That's why I remove them away from the feeder whenever I find them there.

I love these insects but we don't see them much here. They always look very delicate to me. A fabulous shot here Kitty.

I just love these. To me they are such a blast to see, love reading all about them and their habits, one of my most favorite bugs. You captured its colors and features along with the dof of the flower beautifully my friend. Way to go.

Good grief! He looks absolutely huge and standing up on his legs like that, looks like you caught him in a bad mood! :) Excellent macro work, Ms. K!
