This was a very small butterfly that I found at Tinkers Creek State Park. It has such great markings for a tiny thing.
This is a Common Cabbage White I found in my yard.
This is a small American Copper from my yard.
The little tiny spider on the deck.
This is even a smaller one that matches the deck quite well.
I saw this is a wasp I saw when taking some flower photos.
This is a Tiger Beetle from the Kent Bog. It has that fluorescent green color plus some great spots. This is the closest I will ever come to seeing a real tiger in the wild except for Thomas on his T&S Site. Check it out for great wildlife photos.
Hope you enjoyed getting up close and personal with all the insects.
What a great bug collection. I hope you keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteHave you been Bugged Tom.lol.

Nope. Not a bug person. But still I admire your beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you identified all these for us! Great shots! Always love butterflies! Yuck to the spiders! (I am running away screaming from them....)
