I'm amazed at the constant parade of flying insects that have been attracted by our garden. I only have a few decent shots of them, but I've definitely seen stuff I've never seen before.

I took this one today and didn't get as close as I'd have liked. This guy appears to be an all black bee. If you can zoom in on any of these, you get a better view.



I think this guy is a hornet of some kind. He was drinking from a puddle after I had just watered.



Just a run of the mill LadyBug on a run of the mill Marigold, but he wasn't moving around much so the picture came out well.



Couple of bees, one of them drinking water off the leaves I had just watered.
