This bright green-eyed hover fly was.....hovering.....in my back yard - he was staring at me and I was photographing him. He was beautiful as you will see:

I also discovered a small, neat looking bunch of yellow "stuff" on my car's window - some bug laid some eggs:

I finally gave you a thank you for your book on my blog! Sorry it took so long (computer was in the shop for weeks and weeks).
Startling, beautiful close-ups, Suze.
Thank you Angie!! I still don't know what kind of bug that is - it isn't a "hoverfly" and I can't figure out what it is.
Amazing shots! What camera are you using? You might try posting over at http://nature.gardenweb.com/forums/name/
