Damselfly
(?) on a lily leaf
This damselfly (?) had only recently crawled up on a lily
leaf in one of my parents' ponds to begin a new phase
in its life. Its wings were not even dry yet. (1600x1200,

Spider
on Coneflower
I didn't realize until viewing the picture at home that
the spider is eating an identical spider (her ill-fated
mate perhaps). (1600x1200, 201kb) |

Grasshopper
on sunflower
This grasshopper was very cooperative. I believe it was
considering a career in modeling (until I grew tired of
taking pictures of it and left). (1600x1200, 237kb) |

Spider
on sunflower
This was an awesome find for me. I had never gotten to
photograph this spider before. I had never been able to
find it around where I live. (1600x1200, 231kb) |

Mantidfly
(red wasp mimic) on morning glory bush
These are the coolest insects we have discovered in a
long time. It's so cool when you can "discover"
a new insect (or a whole type!) when you are a huge nature
lover. (1600x1200, 276kb) |

Mantidfly
(paper wasp mimic) on morning glory bush
This was the first type of mantidfly we "discovered".
We kept watching the bush for more and found the red wasp
mimic also. (1600x1200, 311kb) |
