Description
As you may have noticed yesterday, I have been sticking my head into the Hibiscus bush, to get the shot I want and experiment. (And I might add, at great risk of getting a spider in my hair! LOL.) While in there, I have discovered a few insects and even managed to get a photo or many...
While investigating this particular bug through the lens of my camera, I discovered it freakin' flies! I did not expect that and it may have startled me some... lol. I don't know what it is, and I have never seen one of these before. It is probably about 1/2 inch (or less) in length, so difficult for me to get on camera.
Thank you for viewing and commenting!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
~HUGS~
P.S. Full size gives better detail and view of this little critter.

Great macro! But wonderful green colors also!
Beautiful macro !
i discovered the dragon moved to my shock and horror lol in the pic i posted other day so know the feeling :o)..excellent close up mick
Beautiful crisp close-up. Awesome colors. You need to have someone taking pictures of you while you are doing this. I'd like to see how high you jump and your expression when they jump out at you, lol. Rule of thumb: if an insect is more than 6 inches above the ground there is a good chance that it can either jump or fly. Beautiful work.
excelente parece un duendesillo del bosque gran macro
Such marvelous light and green, and this little animal..; great capture my friend!
Colorful, clear and detailed..nice... don't have a clue regarding the buggie..
Excellent shot, the details and the POV are fantastic. Beautiful colors and light!
Bugs and mostly spiders creep me out. People tell me they cannot hurt me, that maybe true, but they have a way of making me hurt myself. Apparently those people have not watched the discovery channel; there are spiders that can hurt you. If I see a spider anywhere on me I freak until It's off, most of the time hurting myself in the process. ...lol... Todd
it is a type of assassin bug and they are harmless to humans.they are very beneficial getting rid of small insects.I have 1 or 2 in my gallery.excellent macro
Although I always try to get bug macros when possible, I have quit going out to look for them, pretty much for this reason. You never quite know what you will come across. Nice shot.
Flying bugs used to scare me more but I seem to be less frightened of them now - too busy chasing them with my camera to be concerned. Still would jump if one flew unexpectedly - eeeeek! Love the green leaves and how he is in full sunlight. Keep bug hunting!
This very little insect feels quite unobserved in the beautiful midrib chalice stem-and-leaf plot sanctuary, it is an extrem deeply serrated picture.
Excellent ! Good day :)
What hath God wrought? An Assassin bug of the first water! Excellent detail an lighting in this shot, especially the leaves.
i don;t know about flying...but he can sure hide well! great shot girl!
Wonderful shot! I have never seen one before either.
Even though he made you jump you got a decent picture of him, take note of what Artlan59 said, its quite a good guide. Bravo!!!!!
fantastic detail of a great macro.
Ick bugs, where's a spider when you need one. I like how this looks sticky. great colors too.
great capture...
