Hummingbird hawk-moth rushing from flower to flower. Very tough to photograph because these guys are so fast! 🦋 🌿

Hummingbird hawk-moth hovering beside bright pink flowers, its long proboscis extended into a blossom as it feeds, with blurred greenery and flowers in the background.

"Rough night"
I found this Caddisfly on my deck, after a cold and windy night. Do Caddisflies count for #FlyDay? I hope so!

Photo showing an insect resting on a wooden surface. The insect's wings are folded tent-like over its abdomen and are a mottled brown. Small hair can be seen on them, as is typical for the order Trichoptera. Only part of the long antennae are in the frame. Watermark identifying photographer as Geneviève Laurin.

A lot of late #flowers were mashed by hail, but some things survived! Eryngium was still hosting bees, wasps + flies + at least one spider! At day's end, the #bumblebee was moving very slowly, I wondered if it would stay overnight, and if so, safely? #FlowerReport #BugSky #insects #pollinators

same alt all pics Several views of a spiky looking almost unnatural blue ( a bit violet, a bit metallic?) flower head, composed of many tiny florets in a ball with stamens sticking out, rising from several narrow thistly looking leafy bracts of the same colour. The background is variously out of focus grassy ground and a few more of the flower heads, out of focus as blue balls against a greeny golden blurred background. In a couple of photos a small chunky bunble bee, pale fuzzy gold with a bit of black near the head and at the rear tip, and a wide orangey band on its abdomen (rear part of body). The bee seems oblivious to the pale crab spider on the underside of the flower head, maybe unconcerned since it already holds a fly it caught. In a couple of shots we see only the spider and fly, a little earlier before the bee arrived, including a closer view.

a closeup of a scarlet dragonfly resting on a reed, against a bacground of dark-green reeds. The paler surface of one reed, visible through the dragonfly's translucent wing, gives the wing a golden cast.

I used to take pictures of birds...

Anyway, this is a tan jumping spider that lives on my wall!
