Photos: bugs (but hey, some flowers too!)

I’m terribly behind with processing photos, so let’s do something about this part at least.

How lovely! I can only admire how you get insects to pose so beautifully for you:)

I do my best to not let them know they're posing. ;)

These are gorgeous! I'm so impressed you tracked down the leaf/grasshopper by the sound. What a photo too... every little detail.

Thanks for this. Some beauty before bed.

I'm impressed by this myself... XD

My pleasure! Heh, I didn't know I can provide some material for nice dreams, good to know. :)

You have an amazing camera. Those are very impressive close ups. And very pretty bugs.

Just a high-level point-and-shot with a few additions and lots of patience. :) Thanks, I do my best to show how pretty bugs can be!

Ooh look! They are just like little jewels! Your wee leaf beetle is beautiful. I think I am just a little bit in love with him :)

I would call that purple thistley-type-thingy a knapweed.

He seems quite popular here, and even more deeply blushing for this, which gains him even more popularity, no doubt. ;)

Or this, yeah. I'm more used to knapweeds being the sapphire-coloured field-growing ones, so it wasn't my first thought.
