This particular front angle of the butterfly makes me giggle because of its comical effect. :D

A butterfly seems to be crashing a party. You can see one of the tongues is coiled, while the ones on the ground are sipping from whatever they found tasty. Shot with a telephoto lens from a kayak. Taken near Ottawa, Canada

I noticed this little beetle glinting when I was keeping a close watch on the bumble bee.

This insect was pretty small and I couldn't really make out what it was. I did freak out a little when I saw it on screen. I don't know what it is, hence the title.

I really like the way you can see which way the wind is blowing from the direction in which the pollen is flying away.

Emerging from the grass, as soon as he saw me..."Time to look good for the camera"

A very dramatic photo of a Welsh cricket/Grasshopper. These are the sort of insects I go looking for in the garden.

If a dragonfly isn't speeding around then they're taking a long needed break, which is exactly what I like due to how still they stay! caught this little dude in the Cloud Forest of Ecuador

This little dude took me ages to catch! they are so fast and constantly moving, was certainly a challenge to capture him on camera - nonetheless it was very fun to chase for 30mins!

Well...we all want to see the beautiful face of a stick insect at some point of our lives, so here it is! He was loving every second of this photo-shoot. on the other hand this was taken here in Wales at Roath Park, definitely not the easiest little guy to find!

Ever been so shocked because someone has just shoved a camera in your face?...this dude knows that feeling all too well...I personally think if he makes such a loud noise in the garden then he deserves to be hunted down ready for a photoshoot.....ladies and gentlemen...here is a shocked cricket for y'all!

COME ALONG CHILDREN

A Green Bee on a 4 O'Clock Bloom, taken early morning before the dew evaporated.

This little bee thought the pebble was pollen ....it sucked on it and tried to carry it off .....

Patience paid off standing by the water

I'm not a fan of most insects but, they're great for macro practice.

its our last day of macro challenge! good job everyone all are well deserved👏👏👏 goodluck guys👍

This is a few years old, almost a year after I got my first body in the 5D series.

Helios 44-2. dragonfly ...

I found this jumping spider in my bathroom trash can today! I was going to set her free and thought "let's see what it looks like up close."

I have a new Sigma Macro lens, and I haven't really done macro photography before. I was so happy when I downloaded the shots and saw how interesting this little creature was.

And then I set her free.

Things I learned for next time: Manually focus, use flash (ugh), and aperture at f22 or as close to that as possible.

+4 diopter. Alien Bees B800 against white umbrella.

50% crop, 4+ diopter.

This big guy landed in the driveway after a hard rain started. So of course I sent the kids in for a container so I could get up close and personal.

2+ Diopter (not noted in EXIF).

Yes, I wish that petal wasn't blocking his front legs, by the time I moved to shoot around it, he'd flown off.

Look close enough and this bug's eyes look like a rainbow - or Jupiter.

A shot I normally would have discarded, but I really like how it turned out.
