carpingdiem, It's the heart of summer. All the insects are here. (IDs with each picture.) #insects #dragonfly #robberfly #honeybee #flowers #onionflowers #teaselflowers #dogbaneflowers #nature #photography #naturephography
An Indiana robberfly is a frightening looking insect, with a beige abdomen with black stripes, big legs with grasping pincers on the ends, big black eyes and a nasty looking proboscis. It eats other bugs and when it flies, it's very loud. I heard this guy before I saw him.
An ornamental onion flower with pale pink buds with a domestic honeybee on it.
The teasels are starting to bloom. It has a spiky looking shape, with numerous light lavender tiny flowers all over the spikes. Butterflies and bees love them.
