Augochloropsis metallica. Small, about 5 mm long. The flower is a shepherd's purse growing in my yard.

I've only seen a couple of these at my local woods and this is the first image I've managed.

Wishing you all a very HBBBT!

For me is amazing to photograph tiny insects like the dragonflies. Incredible acrobats and they don seem to mind being photograph at all. The down part of photographing these guys is that you have to get into the skirts of lakes or rivers to get close to them, and by doing that get dirty, but their photos are amazing!

 

You can learn more about them:

Photography is my passion, and nature photography is my favorite.

 

I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.

 

I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.

 

I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!

 

The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

 

Martha,

   

What a beautiful day! Are we heading for an Indian Summer?

 

Couldn't resist taking a couple of shots of one of two migrant hawker dragonflies fighting and perching in our garden this afternoon.

Dragonflies are reminders that we are light and we can reflect the light in powerful ways if we choose to do so.

browsing some pics, insect photography got into my mind. one of the most challenging photography (sply if u are having just 18-55 lens )... and that afternoon i decided to go out for a walking and take some good snaps of insects. man believe me or not, they seldom stay in a single place !

 

Insect photography - a must project for all photographers to enhance their photography skills !

...I think, but as always please correct or confirm if you know better :-)

OK! WHATS GOING ON? I CAN NOT IDENTIFY THIS INSECT EITHER. I HAVE TO FIND A NEW BOOK OR 2!

A vida é valor absoluto. Não existe vida menor ou maior, inferior ou superior. Engana-se quem mata ou subjuga um animal por julgá-lo um ser inferior. Diante da consciência que abriga a essência da vida, o crime é o mesmo.
