After we had had a short break, and Esme had breastfed Alice, we continued our walk. During our break I had looked under several large stones, hoping to find some scorpions, but no luck. However, shortly after we had continued our walk, I saw a large dragonfly resting. Carefully I moved as close as possible, and I was able to take several photos without scaring the animal away from its resting spot.
Read the rest of Butterflies, spiders, and more near El Chico.
Thanks Steph!
I like to think about myself as open-minded, but also love nature a lot. I have quite some photos of insects and arachnids because they are often the easiest to find during our walks.
These are lovely photos of insects.
Thank you very much for taking the time to post them and making them available to other people to see.
May I have permission to use your cicada image as part of a larger for a project and submit it to a contest??
@Nikki: yes, I think that falls under fair usage, especially since you are not using the full size original.

I randomly (via Google) bumped into this page and I must say. Whoa. I've never looked at insects like that before. I am impressed by the photos, especially by the cicada's.
I don't know who you are or how many of you are on this blog.. but I'm really curious.. do you have a particular fondness for insects (and also thorough knowledge of them) or are you just open-minded in general ?
