I found this little critter while out on one of my butterfly excursions a couple weeks ago

Beautiful colours, Durf. As I said elswere the equipment is not so important. Taken with a EOS 550D and a 40 years old vintage lens, some crop and automated tonal values in LR.

Very nice photos from every one!
Here are two from January this year (I don't have new ones and in the summer here there are not such a nice weeds - at least not in such an arid areas).

Lovely pictures, ISv. I especially like the first one.

Praying Mantis on the fruits (and against the flowers) of the critically endangered endemic of the island of Kauai - Polyscias racemosa (small to medium tree).
I took these in the UHM campus today - one before and one after the rain.
I don't know which exactly species of Praying Mantis is it (looks like the green form of Carolina Mantis but I'm not sure - need help!).

Very nice shots, ISv.

Thanks Click! These were not rare ~9-10 years ago but now I can not find them. This one is the second in the last 4-5 years, both in the last 5-6 months.
