Resting.
Faye captured this awesome portrait of a dragonfly apparently resting.
Quite the critter.
This wasp was moving quite slowly on a brisk morning so I felt safe getting up close to examine and photograph it. About 1 1/2″ long and I have not yet been able to identify it.
Wow.
We came across this dragonfly during a recent walk. I had never seen such a brilliantly red dragonfly.
Lovely creature.
I came across this lovely creature while on a woodland walk.
Praying Mantis.
This Praying Mantis caught my eye as I made my rounds.
Safety inspector.
I was cutting some lumber outside, stepped away for a few minutes, and returned to find this mantis standing on top of my workpiece. I presume it was acting as a safety inspector.
Takes flight

Wondrous
I me across these two moths while puttering in the backyard. Their wingspan was about 5 inches or 12 centimeters. I learned they are Cecropia silkmoths. Lovely and wondrous creatures.
Look closely
