I just can't get enough of the butterfly gardens at Chester Zoo. Love the colorful bokeh on this one.

This little guy was into the business of dying on my shower wall, so I grabbed a quick shot with the macro filter. Poor 'silly buzz' as my little girls calls them.

It's official - the butterfly habitat at the Chester Zoo is the coolest place on this or any other planet. This totally happened!

I might have taken better photos than this today, but holy guacamole - I can't believe the subject! Growing up, my dad had a dead praying mantis preserved in formaldehyde, but I've never seen an actual living one before (have even heard people say they are endangered).

You can really get a sense of how big these ladies are with the depth of field I got between her head and tail.

I love this photo. A big part is my pride in getting close enough (despite my diminutive zoom) to get the shot without getting the heebie-jeebies too badly. But mainly it's that look in the bee's eyes of like, "wtf u lookin' at?"
