Bees, almost bees, wasp, flies...

Very special colours....Red and green but no gold.

Don’t ask me, how this is associated with „gold“.
It belongs to the family of „Goldwespen“, but that‘s it.

I really like the last one. Nicely done, Nemorino.

To me, this looks like an alderfly (sialis lutaria).
Please correct me if I am wrong.
They are flying around my ponds in myriads.
Haven't recognized them in the past years

This evening when back at home and watering my wife's plants (she's out of the town...) I found this guy: Plumeria borer. Low light: at ISO 4000 I got 1/125s (f11, -1/3EV). Tamron 90mm macro on tripod.

Plumeria borer.

Really beautiful longhorn beetle.

Tried to ID that small fellow since April. About 1,5 cm long. No real clue. Bo other photo/angle available.
Maybe you have an idea @ISv.

Cool shot, Maximilian. I like the low POV and the pose of the small fellow.

No idea too! Some other angles (like a side view) could help at least to get somewhere...

Very nice macros, ISv.

Thanks! You are very kind but I know "Very nice" is exaggeration!

As I said, I couldn‘t get a better shot.
But thank you anyway.
