Only managed to find this lady bug this morning before the mosquitos decided I was an all you can eat buffet 😅

I took my dog out late one night and felt brushing against my leg, I told Lyla (my dog) to go potty and waited felt it again turned on my light and this tiny little black kitten, skinny and sick was brushing up against me. It has officially been one whole year with him and I couldn't imagine being without him now.

He's been the sweetest cat I've ever owned and I love him dearly, he's gotten absolutely massive since finding him.

Found this guy on a branch, quickly pulled out some background cards to try a few different shots but sadly he flew away before I could get a shot I really like, tho I did catch him as he left 😅

Just a little snout on this cute little guy, I'm sure he knows how to use it tho! 🥹

All photos are the same weevil he was just exploring around while getting his photoshoot.

Been sick for the last few days, but when I saw this little guy on my screen door window I snagged a shot.

I was out for far too long into the night having a good time snapping subjects, it was a busy night in the insect world for sure! 😅

1,2,4,11 are all stacked shots ranging from 32-118 all handheld, stacked in Zerene stacker.

The rest of the shots are single shots.

Walked around the yard checking inside and on top flowers, found a weevil! Captured a bee cleaning his antenna, and a green bottle fly 😅 not quite as many subjects with all the rain lately.

Om1 mk2 + M.zuilo 60mm

The first shot is stacked, the others are single shots.

Was walking around the yard checking the insides of flowers and to my surprise found this little guy 😍🤩

Found this weevil stuck inside an abandoned ant lion hole, offered him a hand, (or in this case a finger Tip) to escape and he kindly allowed me to snag a few shots before going on his way.

Having moved I have access to a nice trail to take photos along now,

The weevil shots he's on my finger because I found him stuck inside an abandoned ant lion hole so offered him a hand (or in this case a finger Tip to help him out)

The weeve shots and the fuzzy caterpillar were stacked images.

Found this little guy having a hard time escaping a large abandoned antlion hole, gave him a hand (or in this case a finger Tip to grab onto) and snagged a few shots 😁

3- single shot after it retreated into its hole

A subject Ive always been on the look out for while on my macro walks I finally found one, wish he would have been in a better spot but I'm happy regardless 😁 both shots of the long horn are stacked.

The extra shots are single shots

finally got the camera out in-between unpacking, can't wait to head down to the local trail and see what new subjects I can find ! 😁

Quite the variety here, a range of subjects I'm sharing today! 😁 Last post from my current town I'm living in now, moving tomorrow! Lots more grounds to explore and find even more subjects 🤩

One of the biggest bolds I've come across! 😮

A few of my favorite shots of jumpers I've taken over the last week or two. 😍 The second one always kept his two front legs up it was adorable and so shiny green 🥰🥰
