Twelve-Spotted Skimmer

Not really my bailiwick but an interesting find on this mornings hike. Here, nestled among a group of blooming Checker Mallow.

Wow - that's a really nice shot of this critter. Neat that it hung around long enough for you to get this shot. Creatures like this always flee before I can set up a shot.

Excellent image, love the way the wings are spread and the angle you have.

I think it might have been too cold. It was early in the morning and it stayed motionless.

Thanks, Jim. Wish I would come across more like this!

Nice work. I really like the flowers in the background - perfect focus so they frame the insect - but don’t draw too much attention.
