Another image of a Halictoxenos (Twisted wing insect) male copulating with it's mate , which is inside of the abdomen of the larger Lasioglossum Bee... The bee is maybe 4-5 mm long...Got 3 images off before it flew off & this was the only decent one...Plus, I found another Hickory Horned Caterpillar (1st instar again) on a different tree leaf (I collected it of course)

It's fascinating and horrifying all at the same time. I learn more each day Scott. Very nice shots and great catch!

Damned if I didn't find another today... Here is one image, I do have another on my Flickr stream, but it isn't as sharp...
