I'll start:

Cool, a white question mark insect. Haven't see one of those in months!

Praying Mantis

My favourite INSECT. These are from an older series of images I took with my D90.

Man, I'm envious of you folks that live where there are cool bugs. Here in San Diego it's a desert-like Mediterranean environment that is kept cool-sh by the cold Pacific ocean. You go east more than 30 miles and you're in the Sonoran Desert. Which altogether means we don't get very cool bugs. Maybe a stick bug here and there but not much else. We do get a lot of humming birds since we're in their migratory flyway. Oh, we have killer bees, too. But that's about it....

Nature's "Food Saver" sealing system!

 

[Just-Clayton]

I usually cant get this close to these guys.

 

[N_Addy]

How big of a shadow does a fly cast?

 

[N_Addy]

Leafhopper.

These are the little critters that jump around your feet (completely unnoticed) as you walk across the back yard. For scale, the flower this guy is sitting on is about the size of a nickel.

 

[Marilynne]

Blue Dasher?

 

[N_Addy]

Yep, it is. And nice shot!

Nice! Beautiful color combination.

It's even better when viewed in full res from your Flikr site. Too bad Nikonites doesn't have a built-in option to do that.
