Ladybugs amble about, and if annoyed, which seldom happens, they fly away. Not the prettiest of faces close up but still remarkable.

Bees are generally pre-occupied and one can wait around for them to do something interesting and get a good view.

I find insects a fascinating subject for photography. In this case, I caught the butterfly just as it landed.

Dragonflies come in a myriad of colours and patterns, striking as well as deceiving. Dragonflies on the hunt stick to an area and patrol in random or circular flights looking for other insects as prey.

Dragonflies are hard for non-experts like me to identify and the books I have found on dragonflies often don’t make it easier.

Dragonflies’ eggs hatch under water where they become nymphs, next is the pupal stage like butterflies. You can see the remains of their pupas along waterways or if lucky see them emerge in the summer.

When chasing down dragonflies to photograph you should know that they often return to the same perch within a few minutes, and they like their backs to the sun.

One of the most beautiful insects is also a ruthless predator. Its flying, targeting and tactical skills are well beyond anything man-made.

I like the way the shadows created by the branches added stripes to the butterfly.

Beautiful and delicate creatures. Monarch butterflies are classified as endangered. Hence a week of butterflies. These are two shots of the same monarch butterfly.
