Aggie Holistic Gardens revisited

[Kenj8246]

I haven't been over to the holistic gardens in a while, so I went late today. I'm rusty with my Nikkor 105 after shooting long glass off a tripod for a while. Need more practice.

#1 Greenbottle fly feeding on a melon half eaten by a raccoon

#2 Male blue dasher (couldn't believe I managed to get that close)

#3 A first for me: an Aggie fly of some sort (has to be an Aggie, its' eyes are maroon )

#4 Plant bug checking me out

#5 A battered monarch still flying with a hole in its' wing

#6 Acanthocephalus sp. in a fig tree

Thanks for looking.

Nice series, Kenny - the holistic gardens still provides you with great photo ops.

Aggie fly-cool! That poor butterfly looks like it's had much better times.

Very nice series Kenny. I especially like #4.

Nice series. Really like that Aggie fly. And the battered Monarch is first rate. Good job.

PS. Did you get my PM?

Thanks Bill and Tom. Trying to get an ID on the Aggie fly.
