Yesterday, Steve and I joined Mike for a photowalk at Bigelow Cemetery State Nature Preserve. The flowers are still a few weeks away from prime time, but I enjoyed chasing insects with my macro lens. There were a couple of species of damselflies flitting about. I'll post some other insects in this post after I have a chance to process some more of my images.
This is an Asian multicolored lady beetle. It seems as if this insect has been victimized by a parasite, also, given the small white protrusions on the wing coverts.
This beetle was sure active, but I finally was able to capture an image that was mostly in focus. It's a swamp milkweed beetle, Labidomera clivicollis.
Another beautiful milkweed beetle, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus.
And another beetle, Photinus pyralis, aka the firefly. They were putting on a spectacular show for us on our drive home that evening.

Sean, I'm sure you'll enjoy the D90. It's a great camera!
Hi Andi,
Great photos, as usual.
I see that some of my Facebook friends found you and your works through me and now they can enjoy them too.
Also, great picture of your work on the postcard. How do you manage to be so good in so many different fields?
Thanks, Kipkimo!
Jack of all trades, master of none?
Great photos of insects; love the burl spheres below.
