Who could not like a cute little bugger and beautiful colors?! Great job with your 50mm and extension tube, Angela!! If I tried to hand hold, that little bug would be doing the jitterbug.

I'm still laughing about your PM, and I hope your day steadily improves in every way.

LOL.... glad you got a chuckle!!! But I'm sure my day won't improve...
but this is interesting! I googled about koi spawning and everything they said is what was going on in my pond!!! Even that you might find your fish in the skimmer, which we did!! It seems end of May or June is when this happens... figures it was my May in May!!! I just hope a few eggs survive... I'd be thrilled!!

Great shots Angela ! I echo Donna's thoughts on shooting these hand held. You did an excellent job !

Nice shots Angela but different colours for a Hover Fly..down here their stripes are more yellow, not so orange...slightly different pattern on the abdomen as well...
