Insects

Lesson #1: Running after little winged creatures shouting "Hold still! Hold still!" generally produces the opposite of the desired effect.
Lesson #2: Lesson #1 is doubly advisable to heed when the subject is a bee, or a wasp. I have not been attacked, but my lens has.
Lesson #3: Stop caring what your neighbors think about you. They can't see any sane reason for you to be hunched over and running around in the grass (yelling, "Hold still! Hold still!). Buy a wacky hat to reinforce the image.

I even say a prayer after the hold still! Sometimes it works. Your images are wonderful and challenge me to keep on trying.

I must have missed this page the other day when I was here.
You have some neat captures here. I know there are "bugs" here where I live, but seem to go into hiding when I go in search! :) Oh well.
Nice Gallery you have.
