After getting home from the office this afternoon and grabbed my camera and macro lens I trotted out to the garden in the front yard. The first two pictures below are of (I think) a "hummingbird moth" which I discovered on the blue irises. With it's largely clear wings, it was actually quite camouflaged. However, I couldn't position myself to get a good angle. I'm not sure what angle would have been better, but I don't really like either of these.
I decided to walk around a bit more, looking for other insects. I found a few. The white thing was a surprise. I've never seen anything like it. The beetle was easy to spot though it was small... perhaps 1/2" long. It looks like it had been chomping on the edge of the leaf it was standing on.
