The last two photographs are a paper wasp, polistes sp. maybe polistes exclamans. the first one is not a bee wolf, but a Potter wasp, possibly Monobia quadridens, although it looks more like Pseudodynerus quadrisectus, but hard to tell without a top view. if you want more specific IDs, I suggest submitting images to http://bugguide.net/node/view/6/bgimage . You have to join (free), and leave an e-mail address, so they can reply to you.

Thanks for the info. I will check out BugGuide.net

#3 in my opinion is sensational. A great picture. Looking at it from so close makes him look robotic, like something out of a movie. I think it's something about his powerful looking shape and he looks like he's wearing armour. (I don't mean to detract in any way from the nature of the shot).

Thank You

This caterpillar can't be too 'smart' because you've captured it rather handily-nice shots!

Thank You

Looks like you have shots of a Haploa caterpillar, more specifically called "The Neighbor" (Haploa contigua), found in open areas, wetlands and woodlands. The yellow lateral bands are especially prominent in young overwintering caterpillars.
Good shots, nicely done.

I Thank (think)I like it! excellent detail. I haven't seen much lately to take macro shot of. I am about to order my O-Flash. I am saving up for the sigma 150mm macro lens too $750 isn't cheap. I have just been enjoying everyone else's shots for now!

I use a nikon 55mm macro lens. Have 105mm lester dine i don't use.I like the 55mm more.
