Lol, I should try it some time. Thank you, I did try Google to determine the killer but was unsure what it was. I shoot with an EOS 350D and an S5is

A Dronefly - Monoceromyia javana Check out the Y shape antennae. Wow, that is a very convincing wasp mimic. But I can see the halteres, so definitely a fly. Cool antenna. Very interesting, great pics. Canon R5, Canon 90D, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100

Never seen anything like it before so had to capture it as best I could. The shot came out pretty good. You know what they say... the best camera is the one you have! If YOU like the photo, that's all that matters!

Yes, I had this urge to help the butterfly free from the web, as I watch the spider coming down and then wrapping its prey.I decided not to interfere and document it. It was taken by SMC Pentac 135mm f2.5.

These damesflies need the sun to warm their wings so that they can fly. I am guessing that their black wings make good absorbers of sunlight.

There have 409 ants species living somewhere on this island. Those are good shots of the Golden Ant. Are you going to look for the other 408 species?
