I spent some time out in the yard on the 18th with the Macro lens. It is just unbelievable all the butterflies, caterpillars and bugs that are out and about! I took so many photos I decided to put them in two separate posts!
Enjoy what life looks like in our yard in South Texas!

Ahh My favorite, Peacock Butterfly
Not sure what species of beetle this it but there are a lot of them in the Wild Mums.
Possibly a checkerspot caterpillar but honestly not sure. Still thought it was neat.
Another unidentified caterpillar...I really need to get some better reference books :o)Michael and I were trying to raise some caterpillars but after a few tries and not having any luck, we gave up!

These pictures are amazing. I'd love to learn more about nature photography...maybe I'll have time in a few years when my daughter starts school!
That beetle is on steroids too!
