Excellent images, I really like #6 and 7/8. The flying bee in #4 is also a good one, it kind of looks like there's pollen flying off him - I've never seen that before. Great stuff

Hi Jody, bugs are really attracted to yellow aren't they.
Those little Virescent Green Metallic Bee's (Agapostemon virescens)
have such beautiful colours, and I also love the pattern on their eyes :clap

My favourite Spider is indeed the Jumping Spider, I love these little guys,
every time I see one I can't help but think of little sea crabs :D

Lovely collection of shots Jody :thumb ... Skippy

Wonderful series Jody- Love the sweat bee :).

One question- did you have to de-saturate some of the shots because of the yellow flower ? Just the colour looks a bit thin in a few of the shots.
