Beautiful paintings, Keith!
BTW, that "mantis" head is a damselfy. Gobs of dewey damsel images on the interwebs. A popular subject, I guess.

Cow Path Tiger Beetles have been active in my neighborhood for a few weeks. Bummed the lighting was so harsh; this thing was fresh and had ridiculous green, bronze, and purple hues that didn't really show in the photos:

Robo Bug came my backyard today! I got him to land on my hand so he could
show me his latest trophy... It's a jungle out there!

Ladybug #3 is in the clover, upper-middle left, partly-hidden, for those with poor vision.
This thread is getting to be very educational and humorous, gents. Good job!

PlanB, did those ST birders know you were sneaking away and taking pictures of insects instead of birds at Birdapalooza? These ST birders can be pretty hard core ;) The bee with boots is cool.

Thanks Dirt,
Sometimes birds and bugs go together. Here's a Junco with a mouthful for the chicks.

It took a lot, but I got this guy to where he'll sit still with the bug on top of his beak. (That was the hard part.)
Then I give the command, "Flippit" and he tosses it in the air and catches it in his beak and then eats it.

I passed the 3 ladybug test even without the clue but must answer undecided on the fly.
Could be a jungle, Reilly, or could be a fly with a flair for presentation. Great pic.

Middle of the stump, just right of the ladybug? (S#!t, time to get outside.)
