Bugs' life!

Ladybug on my finger

Busy bee

Fly or wasp?

Spider web but no spider

A few insect-related shots from my archive. From a photography perspective, they have mistakes, but I like those frames. Insects are a great subject to photograph, and I often see myself capturing them on camera.

> How do you call those insects in your mother tongue?

I put the captions in English, but in Portuguese - my mother tongue - they are called:

1. joaninha
2. Abelha
3. Not sure whether it is a mosca (fly) or a vespa (wasp)
4. Teia de aranha (spider = aranha and web = spider)
5. Esperança, which literally translates as "hope" - in Brazil they say katydids bring luck, especially if it lands on your body!
