Thanks, Charlie. Since I am 90, with mechanical heart valves for the
last 26 years, I avoid most human contact. The insects, birds and
squirrels give me reasons to keep mobile and active.

Thanks, Chris. My "approach" is to initially stand very still about five
feet from the bush, to observe the activity and let the insects get
accustomed to my presence. I then move slowly toward my subject and
start shooting. Some insects are more tolerant than others, you just
have to sense the minimum distance they will tolerate.

I like that shot, and that of the Swallowtail, Jim. I’m still finding
it difficult to get up close, although I caught a decent shot of a
bumblebee a few days ago.

Among the Skippers working the Buddleia this morning was a Long-Tailed
Skipper, the first I've seen this year.? His shape and coloring are
distinctive.
