Very nice Morris love the Cabbage White and the Lady Bug. I have not seen one honey bee this year or any other bees for that matter. The number of bugs and bees is really down.

Nice set, Morris. My picks are #'s 5 & 8.
The Wasp shot, #9 make me wince as I got stung by a Paper Wasp yesterday while cutting some wild Hackberry saplings. Today it itches like crazy.

Thank you Roberta,
I've seen fewer honey bees this year yet they are still around. Many people in my neighborhood including me have native wildflowers growing in our gardens and this helps. My wildflower garden is having a hard time as we have had so much rain this year. On the other hand, my grass is growing faster than ever.

Thank you Greg,
Insect stings heart a lot. As long as there is no allergic reaction they usually become a strong memory. I have not been stung in about 50 years and that's fine with me. Hope you are feeling better from that sting.
