I'm amazed that you can get so close and get the E8700 to focus...even at wide angle. I occasionally use a Coolpix 5700 and find it almost impossible to focus manually.
Syrphidae for sure. I am always amused by those who think it's a bee, because of its coloration.
We don't have this species but its relatives abound.
Very nice; I can see all the cells in its wings, which makes identification easier.
The most abundant form of this Genus in Wisconsin is Rana pipiens. More green color; not as brown.
We have this plant. Locally it is called Fireweed due to its propensity to colonize areas recently burned.
We have this plant here in abundance. We call it Red Raspberry. Nothing tastier than a bowl full of berries....my favorite.
Excellent capture; nicely done.
Nephrotoma crocata
Stenoptilia pterodactyla?
