I like these little stinging insects when they are sleepy in the morning. Laid on the ground, anchored the top of this grass stem so it would be super still. Took my time to get a nice shot. Would like to have had a greener background but I was level with the bug as I took the shot.

It wasn't a really cold night, think got to high 60s(~19C) but this wasp was very sluggish this morning. I wonder how people get such clean shots of insects as they go about their lives. This one would tilt ever so slightly as it was starting to wake up. Would love to get more shots like this but don't get how to make bugs stay still.

This was a tiny praying mantis I caught trying to come in my house. I took them outside and tried to get some photos of it. Relatively calm model. Had a challenge with cloudy morning and trying to get all of it. The grain in the photo if because I had to bump up the ISO. Slider work to try to fix the photo.

These little ants were tucking themselves into the folds of the flowers while it rained. Pretty smart! This was a quick shot I took and did some slider work to. The exposure was good just cropped and made a little more vibrant.

Today I started to go around my yard looking for subjects for macro shots. This was the biggest, slowest, and first thing I saw. The beetle didn't want to sit still and Eevee gave it a little sniff that scared it stiff. I used that moment to get this shot. Used a small aperture for bigger depth of field and bumped up the ISO since it has been a cloudy day. Slight slider work to make it pop.
