It's a problem I have ... bugs always seem to fly into my flowers, just as I'm getting ready to shoot them ... why?

Perhaps, they all think they're photogenic, huh?

Well, Mike ... there are NO Inuits in Alaska - Greg (WingPilot) - who I think you've mixed me up with - Gawd knows why - could tell you that.
Inuits live along the northern frontier of the Northwest Territory, Nunavut (their home base) and western Labrador ....
Greg would tell you this - The farthest north Eskimos are known as the Inupiat (or Inupiaq, if you will) further south they are known as the Yupik, (or Yup’ik) The Aleuts are actually of unknown certain origin, and live on the Aleutian Peninsula and Aleutian Islands. Whatever they were originally, there was extensive contact between them and the Russians, beginning in either the late 1600’s or early 1700’s. As a result, many Aleuts have Russian names. In South Central Alaska, where he lives, there are a couple different Alaska Native tribes. Locally, there is the Knik tribe, and on the Kenai Peninsula there is the Kenai Tribe, or Ke’inai (or something like that) who are related to the Aleuts. The Knik tribe, and the Eklutna Tribe are more closely related to, or a part of - the Athabaskan Indian Nation.

I'll guess, you'll have to ask the bugs! (maybe they're just trying to help you getting something in focus in your pics, but like I said, I have no idea, you'll have to ask the bugs!

Why, thanks, Cork ....
I appreciate your appreciation of them ...
Tell you a secret, Cork ....
They didn't ALL follow the theme ... I cheated a little ...
But, perhaps, you noticed, already, huh?

Perhaps, S .... there are one or two like that, huh?
But, then - I wasn't focusing on the bugs ....
In fact, on most of them with that problem ... I didn't even notice till I got home ...
Except for the butterfly .... but, then - that must be obvious, huh, S?
Next time I come across the little rascals ... I WILL ask the bugs, S ... and report right back to you what they said! ... how's that, S? ... do ya?
