Flycatcher for the set, but means in German a goalkeeper who catches more flies than balls GKorts · 2009-08-18: 11:01

Ricky, estou um pouco confusa, quanto à estes insectos. São os machos das abelhas? Os tais chamados "frangos"? Já vi que é um especialista na matéria, e os macros estão cada vez mais nítidos. Parabéns! Unchained · 2009-08-18: 11:21

the picture speaks for itself - it doesn't need a title - and hey, at least you did not swat it!! ????? · 2009-08-18: 12:23

great set doesn't it sting? chrisbuchan · 2009-08-18: 13:28

EXCELLENT SHOTS!!! Love the colors...#2 I added to my favs...SUPERB :)) lynnsgallery2 · 2009-08-18: 16:46

WEll , Well Ricky , you didn't break the wing but you disrupt his blood cycle! lolz ! anyways very nice post you got here , nice macro's! Clean , crisp and clear images...the lights , colors and tone are excellent...those insect are one of the unusual way of flops ( Floating Point Operation per seconds) to their wings..they have 30 thousand per second deformed flops and nature has a way for them to fly and maneuver with ease.. TFS my friend! Best regards , rob blackhawk1552 · 2009-08-18: 17:14

yes very beautiful and tiny and cute,,but i wonder did he survive from u? hahhaa jessicashan · 2009-08-19: 08:51

Haha! wonderful! pandka · 2009-08-19: 15:14

hahah, you had to grab it to take a pic of it. that's funny. I need to do that too! but the weird insects i take pics of are sooo scary that I rather not even take pics of them. like this time there was this giant wasp and I didn't had my cam on me but i really wanted to take a pic of it, but it looked sooo horrifging, or like this one time when I saw this little tiny praying mantis... jjvilm · 2009-08-21: 23:44
