@susanne-kasimir Congratulations on your first win on the topic! It’s not everyday frogs decide to jump on a lily pad, and even better: two of them!
@whistlingduck thank you! I feel honoured. I think the photo looks like a tropical holiday - and I currently use it on my desktop.
I’m trying to develop better instinct for not constantly overexposing everything, so I got out the macro lens for some slower moving critters this week. Not sure I nailed my brief, but I think it’ll do for his yearbook!

Hello everyone! I am going to LA for 2 weeks, so this will be the last poll of July. I will make the next poll on August first (then I go to a birding camp in Algonquin but we’ll figure that one out later).
- @joeylikesbirds’ Emerald Jumping Spider
- @steven_bach’s Halloween Pennants
- @ra_teo’s Nudibranch (I think)
- caterpillar511’s Melanistic Garter Snake
- @tjeales’s Gasteracanta sp.
- @reefersean’s Brown Belted Bumblebees
- @LostInCR’s Fer-de-lance
- @macrotim’s Asian Bush Mosquito
- @austin_ajit’s Eurybrachys tomentosus
- @slugcycles’ Red Milkweed Beetle
- @kanescompendium’s Microcrambus sp.
I couldn’t @ tag everyone because iNat has a limit of 10, so I just told caterpillar511 that I made the poll (don’t worry, I didn’t leave him out!) Good luck!
Here is my next submission, a blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis), hopefully this one gets a vote!
Wow! Nice one you have there!
Thanks! I just shoved my phone is this dudes face and surprisingly he didnt fly away!
Cool! (I’ve been watching you replying and it’s worth it!) Nice find!
LOL those little wings!
Thanks! My back deck never ceases to amaze.
Do those wings work? Nevermind, dumb question.
Pretty sure this is a young one with developing wings. So not yet.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but @steven_bach, you just had the most votes on an individual entry! Congratulations on the win! I was actually inspired to take a shot similar to yours, but let’s just say I have no photos at all.
