I'm not taking pictures of wasps, flies or bees, but more frogs and toads
in or around pools or in the forests.

If it's pretty, I shoot it. If it moves, I shoot it. If it catches my eye . . . 
I shoot it.

Lots of frogs, but not any toads, at least in a long time. You must be the Amphibian Whisperer, if you can get close enough, without getting very wet, or scaring the subjects away. I'm not that good, so I use long lenses.

If one shoots frogs, I think a frog on a lily pad image is required. :-)

The 75-300 is a pretty good lens, so even a 100% crop looks good.

Last month, I encountered an odd group of four frogs clustered together.

The above two images couldn't be taken with 35, or 60 mm lens without using 
waders.

This one could, although I'm sure I would have scared the subject away. @ 400 mm, 800 mm eq., the frog had no idea what I was doing. <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=21118>
