Dragonflies are challenging to photograph. Their multifaceted eyes catch the light, creating highlights that I adjust. Secondly, the have bumpy faces so a side on shot like this shows a slightly odd face. Thirdly, they pick up dust that sparkles in bright light also easily adjusted.

It’s all in the details. Too much sharpening and the dust on the bee lights up.

The detail on caterpillars can be confusing. It was only when I got home that I realized it was looking at me.

Butterfly composition: focus on wings, focus on action, focus on eyes or a combination of the three key elements in the same shot.

This is one of those lucky shots. I take many photos of bees, but seldom get one in flight.

I am not sure if this was a chase, happenstance, or the beginnings of a courtship.

I was photographing the caterpillar when I noticed the beetle climbing over it. Given the bristles on the caterpillar it was hard to see the beetle until he moved on. Still an interesting shot.

I understand not all ants in a colony are busy, some are quite lazy. I’ve never seen a lazy ant.
