You know how I said I’d go with the snapper unless I found something better? Um, so, funny story actually, I found a hummingbird. And I got some really nice photos of it because it let me get so close and it was sunny, which made for a high shutterspeed. Then some wrens scared it away. So here’s one of the best pics:
Sure, that’s okay. I just hope it doesn’t go to my head or interfere with my personal life, like the last contest I won ….
“Hello?”
“Helloooo! Bob? It’s Scarlett Johansson calling, again and –”
“Look Ms. Johansson, as I already told you, AND Ms. Daddario, and those others, I am NOT interested in going to Hollywood or any place else, or for you to visit here. No! Nyet! Nein! Plese, stop calling, texting etc. Thank you and goodbye!”
Took this quite awhile ago, not the best candidate to get me off my last place streak but this is my favorite bee so I thought I’d share. A northern rotund resin bee (Anthidiellum notatum), a vespoid wasp mimic. I think they look adorable, trying to look like a wasp but they are just too small lol. A rare sight for me unfortunately, only seen this one this year.
Oh wow, I tried it like a year ago and it didn’t work for me, but I guess I just butchered the file conversion then… Thanks for sharing, I’ll try imgflip next time then :)
Well, here’s a photo of a juvenile Dolomedes triton found on a rock surrounded by water. Definitely could be better, but still nice to have a photo of one!
Yeah, lol. Was actually pretty cooperative compared to the other fishing spiders I’ve photographed before. Actually, I wasn’t even searching for these, rather on springtails, but forgot to bring vials for collecting them, so had to find something else to photograph. This was found in a nice little sandy/rocky shoreline of a small pond. Was an absolutely amazing area, with some nice species of frogs, springtails, spiders, etc.
