This time of the year! Yikes!  It might have to be and old pic.  Let me look a bit first.  There might be a live one in the garage.     TomDart.

It will be hard to beat white spiders and a fly and "gnats"...then there is the "Body Farm" about 35 miles from here..humm.     No, that will not do, can't get in.

Good spider pic nongo !

LOL  Tom.  Heck any ol' insects will do, it's just all I could come up with, I'm terrible at ideas.

Well, of to bed, back to work in the morning. Another 24 hr shift.

Fun theme! We've still got plenty of buggies here in FL Manning. I took this one just this past weekend. I had to underexpose it a bit to get this fuzzy little guy in the shadows.

Sorry, just had to post one more. This cutie (hahahaha) was on the wheel of my car this morning when I was leaving the house. Anyone know what kind of beetle this is? I think it is pretty neat the way its eyes curve in on the top of its head to make room for its antenna.

What an excellent shot, Joe! And the colors are amazing!! Definately not just a bug shot, it would make a fine print.

Thanks for telling me about this thread Kort ! :)

These were hiding between the gills of mushrooms. They are insects and VERY small, i dont know what they are though.. All i know is that there where A LOT of them and under virtually every mushroom.

Have a great day everybody !  :)

Man, the one in Flight is awesome. I can only imagine the patience needed for a shot like that.

TwoPynts ( ) posted Tue, 13 February 2007 at 8:56 AM

I think it is fly that looks like a bee, but yes, it and the other ARE awsome... congrats on your new ext. rings!
