A nice series of shots Brad. I don't think the 3rd shot is of a Green Darner but of some type of damselfly. You can do a Google search for shots of the Common Green Darner. Some of the differences ...

Nice shot Brad. I believe that 3rd shot of the yellow one with the long tails is some type of moth but I've never seen it before.

Very nice shots. They don't sit still for long so you have to be fairly fast to catch a good shot.

Some very nice shots of some very nasty bugs!

Nice shots and I believe your ID is correct. A Hackberry Emperor, a Pearl Crescent and a Blue Dasher. I like the shot of the Hackberry Emperor on your hat. They often land on my clothing but then ...

Thank You. You've made some very nice corrections.

Just want to say thanks to everyone for their efforts.

Nice catch Ken. They are really amazing hunters. I've seen them catch butterflies and even other dragonflies.

Thanks. Can you tell me how you did it?

This is photo I took of a very old and damaged photo of my grandparents wedding. Since my Dad was born in 1912 this photo is well over 100 years old. I never knew my Grandparents as they both died ...

That is quite the birthday party for a six year old. Very nice shots.

Nice shots of some very nasty looking creatures. Is the black one unusual or are they often like that?

I like to get shots of butterflies with their wings both open and closed but they often don't cooperate. Red Spotted Purple Common Buckeye Common Buckeye Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Eastern Tiger ...

If you hadn't said they were flies I would have thought they were bees. Nice shot of them and the dragonfly.

Very nice. I like the deep red/purple color.

Great catch Ken. I believe this is a Cloudless Sulpur and you are correct in that they never sit still for very long. Just a soon as you are almost set to shoot they somehow manage to always fly away.

Good luck with your new lens. Everytime it goes on sale I'm tempted to buy it.

This is a tiny little butterfly that decided to sit on a chair on my front porch. Taken with my little used 40-150 in Raw then processed and heavily cropped.
