I took my original Oly kit, E-510 with ZD 14-54 Ver.1, for a walk 
today.  Insects, like flowers, are becoming scarce.  Here are a couple 
that caught my fancy.

The little Skippers are still around.  Though small, they are 
interesting, with enormous eyes and a complex wing configuration that 
reminds me of aircraft designed for carrier landings.  Here is a view of 
the wing.

The Carpenter Bees are still competing for the few remaining flowers.  
Here, one executes a "missed approach" when the finds the bloom already 
occupied.
