Gday all. I finally got a shot of this little "bee" this morning. I've been chasing them for AGES but man they're quick. Only got him cause he stopped for a few seconds:lol:. The second is a cool little "shield bug" i think. I'm not real sure about either of these species, so if anyone could help out it'd be much appreciated. Hope you like 'em.

Wonderful captures.
#2 is not a shieldbug but more likely a plant bug nymph. Shieldbug nymphs are fairly circular.

The bee also looks like the Toronto Bee, also.

cool bug, likely to be a Leaf Footed bug nymph.

The first one shows not the perfect sharpness, but has a good compo and point of view. Nice Bee!
Great colors on the second one.
Good job.

Grtz,
Kurt
