Terri Webster has am incredibly collection of BUGS. Here’s a few of the bees and friends I’ve collected over the years. I’ll start with a couple of OLD butterflies for One Word Sunday.
Old Monarch on Milkweed Cabbage Butterfly on Lavender
Bee on Lavender Bumble Bee Lady Bug Swallowtail laying egg on Anise another Bee Healthy Monarch on Mexican Marigold Brown Flittary on Mexican Merigold Moth Gulf Flitary
I plant flowers that provide food and egg laying places for polenators


Finally a few very young butterflies

These are great, Carol! Butterflies and bees seem to be a photographer’s dream! Praying mantis too since they sit there and look at you, LOL!

Butterflies takes some work.The bees don’t usually notice me.
Your dragonfly is gorgeous, it seems bejeweled!
We rarely see praying mantis, yours are a treat.
Thanks for letting me share my Summers work 😍
