Been awhile. It is finally warm enough that the bugs and spiders are coming out. Last Saturday Michael(papilio) and I went out to Fort Snelling State Park to find jumpers and other things to photgraph.

Beautiful shots Chad. From eagles ---> weevils and everything in between! I'm particularly fond of the spectacular damselfly / dragonfly shots. Thanks for sharing!!

As an up-and-coming entomology student from Minnesota (aka the best state), this thread is so inspiring to me. I get so caught up in all these exotic bugs and reptiles that I sometimes forget to appreciate what's right under my nose. Thanks for sharing.

The second picture is something incredible and i think should be used with the Stars And Stripes flag in an official way, seriously.
Bravo.
