Today's Captures -- 6/11/08

All new critters today. These are all firsts for me except the harvestman, although I've never seen one like this.

A Harvestman with a different look, crawling around in the miniature japanese red maple tree.



Thread-waisted Wasp (Ammophila spp.)



Green Darner (Anux junius)







And I'm going way out on a limb on this one. Closest I can ID it is a Black Pine Sawyer (Monochamus scutellatus). also closely resembles a borer though. Any ID help appreciated.

Beautiful shots Gary, the Dragonfly matches the greenery in the backgroud too, it's a brilliant colour Green too

I love those Harvestman Spiders, I still see a crayfish with long legs when I look at them

The wasp looks femanine, has a dainty look about it.

Great Series, nicely captured .... Skippy
