Nice! Particularly like the third -- an Ascalaphid, a non-pit-making antlion in the order Neuroptera to us old bug people, not sure of recent changes.

Thank you relbugman. You are right. The third one is commonly known as Owlfly and belongs to Ascalaphid family. I am not very well versed in the scientific names of the bugs, but for someone like me there is always 'Google' :)

Sure you can do it. Congratulations in advance for the new camera. Which one did you go for? I've been planning to upgrade too. Don't see it happening soon though.

I found a Nikon EOS T5 on QVC with a zoom lens, macro mode, and bag, etc...for what a body alone usually costs? I have an older Minolta X-700 which is great, but not digital. And no one develops anymore. Well, Walmart, etc...not good quality? I never did learn how to really use it. But a great camera in it's day. LOVE your pix. I tried to post a couple from last summer of my horses, but it wouldn't load? Don't know what I did...:) S.

Thanks again. I did have problems uploading pics too. Then I realized that my pics were too large. It went fine after I resized it. It may work for you too. I will look forward to seeing your pics.

really great pics, I tried to photograph a dragonfly that landed on top of my son's car antenna, but so hard to focus.
