Boss photos you've taken

[Prevenger17]

Some of these are really great, congratulations everyone. I don't take many photos and my cat is all of them.

Notch-horned Cleg (Haematopota pluvialis) - or The Horsefly, as most know it. Unfortunately, these large flies are also haematophagous (feed on blood) and give quite painful bites. Only the female bite however, though when they do, you damn well know it, but I'm sure this is a male. Only one photo taken before it flew off into the garden next door, but it sat patiently on the end of twig until I got the lens poked in it's face. Cropped for extra impact! And so you can better see those amazing eyes!

Never been much of a photographer but I was happy to land this shot of one of my dogs running around my yard last winter.

My field site is littered with ring-tailed lemurs. This photo came out pretty good:

And this is some weird plant, but the colors came out pretty nice on my little no-frills digital camera:

Capturing the washing line just adds to the effect IMOlol

To windy by far to get anything outdoors. Just a quick crop on a bluebottle shot that was on an apple tree leaf being blustered around by the strong winds.

A little set from this afternoon. Went down a local park with the boys and played some cricket. There was a local game on as well so took a few different styles of shot.

Apart from the wonderful darter dragonfly (see "The Darter" upload) - my short walk down the to the canal and back found me getting a host of different insects/bugs. Some I'm not sure of what they are though.

A common field grasshopper:




A Syritta pipiens hoverfly, and also you can see a mason wasp in the background of the second one:






A Scorpionfly eating his lunch (a small hoverfly didn't survive this encounter):






A shield bug on a fence:






And 3 bugs in one - and I only know the middle one is a picture fly, the other two - I've no idea...

Down the canal I found this common male Red Darter dragonfly - which seemed to have 2 hunting points too which it continually returned to. The first was on a blade of grass looking toward the water, the other on a leaf overlooking the grass verge. It did have a third spot - my hand, onto which it happily clambered for a minute or two while I got some shots. You can see the wing positions change in each one on my hand, as he took off and landed again a few seconds later, so the wings therefore were in different positions.
