I'm seeing lots of large bees right now. I'm attempting cell phone shots with no zoom, so I've bumped into quite a few bees and the large ones are very forgiving. This is a male eastern carpenter bee on a horsemint flower. #bees 🐝🌿 #pollinators #bugsky #insects #ECK #nature #wildlife #nativeplants

A beautiful Southern Hawker in perfect profile for #MacroMonday Wishing you all a great start to the week! 🫶 #MinimalMonday #BugSky #Insects #Dragonfly #photography #nature #ECK

A close-up of a blue-green Southern Hawker clinging vertically, head upwards, to a thorny rose branch. Its body displays a bright, light-green pattern on the thorax and head, as well as blue-green spots on the long, dark abdomen. The transparent wings are slightly outstretched. A blurred rose petal can be seen at the left-hand edge of the picture; the background is a white house wall.

A glasswing butterfly alights on a heliopsis, Mindo rainforest, Ecuador, Dec 2021. Glasswings look fragile but they can carry up to 40 times their own weight #glasswing #butterfly #inaturalist #ecuador #rainforest #mindo #insects #heliopsis #southamerica #wildlife #jungle #naturephotography #nature

Big girl, you are beautiful 🐝 #insects #bugsky

A large, very yellow bumblebee, maybe a queen Bombus pensylvanicus. She is lifting off from a spotted bee balm flower.

Here’s a video of a fascinating little critter from my daughter’s garden. Is it a bird? Is it an insect? It’s a hummingbird moth. #nature #gardens #insects

We’ve had so many hummingbird moths at the nursery and I’m loving it. Such amazing insects. #moth #insects

A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! Found this beautiful Hercules Moth in far north Queensland. #wildoz #wildlife #nature #biodiversity #insects

Please enjoy this ridiculously cute butterfly, which was about the size of my pinkie fingernail. It's in the butterfly family called metalmarks (Riodinidae). Males, like these, have reduced front legs and perch using only the rear 4 (females can use all 6). Sarota acantus; Costa Rica 🐙🌿 #insects

A macro photo, front three-quarter view, of a little butterfly perched on a green leaf. The butterfly has pale green eyes with black speckles, legs covered in thick yellow fuzzy hair, and orange wings sprinkled with metallic light blue patches. It is very cute.
