This is definitely one of my best and favorite insect macro photos I have ever taken.
It is of a Flower Fly gathering nectar from a Prairie Fleabane flower. I took this in late June of this year.
Nice shot ! We have a strong first entry.
Good luck !!

Congratulations on hitting the big 60!! It takes forever to get there and then it slows down from there!
What a lovely way to celebrate! Thank you for the flower! They are gorgeous! Happy December!
I am excited about your contest! Here is my entry! It is a Hummingbird Moth. When I first saw it, I thought it was a hummingbird, until I looked closer!
Oh nice shot @dswigle
Thanks for participating in the contest =)

Thanks for entering !!

Very nice shot @ninahaskin thanks for the entry.
Noticed #savethebees thanks ! Bees are in trouble world wide(honey bees in particular) and getting worse. Thanks for caring.
!DERANGED
Appreciate the compliment and thank you for the DERANGED! @chromiumone
I don't think many people realize the significant contributions bees play as pollinators in the ecosystem. They are the stitching that holds everything together. I heard on a nature show that if bees entirely disappeared from earth, mankind would only have four years left to live. We need to proactively save the bees before it's too late! 🐝
Good one
Thank you very much!🐝💫
Congratulations @chromiumone on becoming a Dolphin!! I hope you are feeling better?! I just love that photo of the Skipper and that is one gorgeous flower you posted for me! 😉
This is my photo of another Red-Spotted Purple. Taken at a different locale than the last one I posted about. 😊
Nice shot @deerjay
I wish I was better..... getting worse and trying to go to pneumonia =/
Good to see your entry.
!DERANGED
Thank you @chromiumone! I'm sorry to hear that and I hope it doesn't go that far. Don't let it get too far without seeing a doctor, if you haven't seen one already. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery! 🙏
Thank you @deranged.coin and @chromiumone!!
Hi,
I've been following this contest every week and love @whatisnew, but I'm not a photographer, nor am I an artist. I've never had the courage to actually enter. However, I have been tempted. Today I found a picture at this Harvard.edu site. The butterfly,
looked like something I could try to approximate. So I began drawing, chalking and digitalizing.
First I sketched a butterfly, then tried to fill in color with chalk.
I scanned that image into my computer.
After that, I spent a lot of time (I'm retired he he) blending, coloring, comparing, resizing. Finally I came up with something I liked, although it only vaguely resembled Heliconius xanthocles.
This picture represents my entry into your contest:
I wasn't going to post this in a blog, because I was a little embarrassed by the poor skill level. However, when I saw that you invited us to drop our entry as a comment, I figured, why not?
Thanks so much for running this contest. My alternate blog was about a rather unpleasant disease (which I will return to). This was a lovely break.
Congratulations on your '60' and your 'dolphin' status!
You are so creative! You should name this beautiful, one-of-a kind butterfly "The Agmoore." : ) I love it and love you too! : )
Hello, dear friend @whatisnew,
Thank you. This butterfly is one of a kind :)) You can see I had great fun playing with chalk and the computer. All to get my imprecise, but rather attractive (I think😁) creature.
I love your bee in flight. How do you capture these images? And I love that you can identify everything you photograph!
Have a most wonderful, richly creative day.
Your not-very-talented, but enthusiastic friend,
AG
What? You ooze with talent AG!
Capturing anything in flight takes many, many photos to hopefully just get one that is not a total blur.
Keep the enthusiasm going, my friend. : )
😇 🐝 🐝
Wow! You sure do know how to celebrate! Congratulations on all 3 of your big milestones @chromiumone. Of course I must enter this one but it sure feels weird entering an insect in another persons drawing. LOL!
Here is a carpenter bee in flight.
Hello @whatisnew you made it !!
Glad to see an entry from you. Thanks for helping me celebrate.
Although getting the flu the next day kinda dampened my enthusiasm a bit lol
Now comes the hard part.... choosing from all the great photos here.....
That's a nice in flight capture you got there, I never get one that clear.
Thanks Bud! I hope you are feeling much better now.
You did get some amazing entries. Picking the winners would be so hard for me and that is why I choose at random. No pressure. : )
You have to be !DERANGED.
