This week, Yolanda will choose the winner of our photo challenge, and you get to choose anything you'd like to share - the theme is "Photographer's Choice".
Here are a few "critter shots" I'd like to share this week. BTW - for someone who really isn't crazy about bugs, I sure find myself enjoying them through a camera lens!
 |
| "What big eyes you have, my dear!" |
 |
| I don't know what this critter is, but he was fascinating to watch. |
 |
| He kept on bending in the middle like this doing some sort of "buggy calisthenics." |
 |
| This spiderweb was built overnight. Such workmanship! |
Such is the destiny of all who forget God;
so perishes the hope of the godless.
What they trust in is fragile;
what they rely on is a spider’s web.
They lean on the web, but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.
Job 8:13-15
Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteSue, I also don't like bugs, but I LOVE capturing them in a photograph! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a cross between a fly and a hornet ... I hope that long tail isn't all stinger. I like bugs, I find them interesting, but I get cautious when I see a stinger ... I don't like getting stung. Great shots, interesting find. Maybe, down the road, you can find out what it is and fill us in :)

The first bug pic was really excellent. Almost futuristically metallic touch in it.
ReplyDeleteNot crazy about spiders but the amazing perfection of the webs they create is a site to behold. Wonder Who taught them how to do that!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos!
Those are amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I screamed out loud. Those are some very scary spiders : )
ReplyDeleteBig eyes, and hairy legs! how amazing is this capture of bug yoga! super photos....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I really like the first one, big eyes, furry legs and all.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!!

Great creepy shots heheh!
ReplyDeleteNice buggy shots!
ReplyDeletethese are great bug shots
ReplyDeleteI love bugs, some are like tiny dinosaurs
Nice shots - especially the 2nd one with the lovely bokeh!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos. I wasn't too crazy about bugs until I started taking close-ups of them and saw how interesting they are. Great meme, I would join in except that I haven't taken any bug photos lately.
ReplyDeleteI love that you took photos of insects...Hmmm.. Now I want to know what that is. I tend to think that long stinger-looking thing is an ovipositor to lay eggs..but could be wrong..I will be looking for an id...Michelle
ReplyDeleteBugs are so much easier to look at in a photograph for me as well. Photos can get so close in that you see details you wouldn't see otherwise.

ReplyDeleteWow that first shot is amazing... so detailed and crisp! Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #45!
ReplyDeletefantastic pics! :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure what kind of insect you have there - - - nor what kind of arachnid either, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteI do know this much for sure and for certain - - - I don't want EITHER ONE of them crawling across my face!
Lovely closeups of both insects and the flower. You might like to contribute to Mandarin Orange Monday too:)
ReplyDeletelike the intimate connection between the insect and flower and viewer.
