Bug odds and sods

Lord Vetinari

Some recent mixed bug shots from the garden.

Sawfly ? about 6mm body length



Look no hands ! - small crab spider with flower beetle prey





Smallish muscid fly on a sunchair- think it's Graphomya sp.



Mason bee Osmia rufa - Closest I've managed to get to one of these bees



Wasp Queen at rest - natural light

Nice collection

that muscid fly is one jazzy little dude(ette). Well done as usual.

All very nice, but I like the second crab spider shot best because of the composition. This is a case where the DOF works very well--the out-of-focus areas bring the in-focus areas into highlight. Nice colors as well.

Excellent shots. Awesome detail.

Thanks Phil .
The crab spider totally confused me when I first spotted it - could only just see the spider but the beetle was in clear view - wondered what was going on
