There is a road on the north side of the Niobrara River. It has many photographic opportunities. These photos were taken when I visited in September. The first three photos were taken within about ten feet of each other.

This Woolly Bear Caterpillar showed the evidence of the short rain shower we had earlier in the morning.

Further down the road there was a patch of flowers where I found these guys

Then there's this guy that I never did nail an id on.

And last, but not least, is a colorful guy that really moved fast. Never was able to id him either.

Love your insect shots. Fun!
Kayleen: Excellant macro captures of the insects. I loved the all, nicely done.
The feather legged fly looks pretty interesting. I don't believe I have ever noticed one before. I'll have to keep my eyes wider open this spring. Thanks for sharing your eyes.
There is certainly NO WAY I can pick a favorite - these are all absolutely fantastic!
Okay, I wasn't going to scroll down for the insects (ick) lol, but you make them look beautiful! I really like the caterpillar.
Your farm animals were wonderful but these are excellent!
I love the little woolly with the raindrops - nice 'catch.'
Holy Cow..great macros and I love the insects...
