If it wasn’t for the spiders and insects I would barely have had anything to photograph this morning after a nice sunrise. This time of year is always slow for nature photography and I think the Circle B has been impacted by the drought also.
It was one of the better sunrises I have seen recently.
Red-bellied Woodpecker and Great Blue Heron
Golden Silk Orbweaver and Tropical Orbweaver
Black Swallowtail and Southern Paper Wasp
Baby Purple Gallinule and Anhinga
Regal Jumping Spider and Green Lynx Spider
Larger Florida Praying Mantis-3 more this AM brings my total to 8-9 this year. In past years I’ve seen 1-2.
Mama and at most week old baby gators.
Flying fish-with a little “help” from the Osprey.
Great shot of the flying fish with the help of the osprey. Love the praying mantis and the Regal Jumping Spider. I don’t think I have ever seen one of those. Also, love the Golden Silk Orbweaver.
Great shots of beautiful bugs.
