Assorted bugs, mostly unidentified

Here are some photos of the sort of critters you encounter when you are looking for something else entirely.

All these photos were taken last weekend.

A very hairy caterpillar:

A portrait of a red beetle checking me out:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/200s

A doodlebug just after an awkward landing, wings still out (maximum sharpness is a few mm too far towards the camera, sorry about that):


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/200s

A very blue weevil considering its next move:

I didn't find the dragonfly I was looking for that day, though.

Thanks for watching!
