A heat wave...

[KenJ8246]

relatively speaking.   Got up to 61F prior to some rain and the next frontal passage.  Wandered around the gardens this afternoon and, in the order they were shot here are:

#1 A cucumber beetle

#2 Tiny slow-feeding syrphid fly

#3 Honeybee feeding on snapdragons

#4 Another lethargic syrphid (used a Raynox +8)

#5 This syrphid never stirred from this bloom, even when I bumped it

#6 Rather large tacninid fly

Thanks for looking.

All the images are very good, Kenny (as expected), but the winner is the bee on the snap dragon.

Thanks John. That was the 'throw the camera up and fire two quick frames' approach.  As usual, one of them was not too bad.

Great series here Kenny!
