Lockdowns are a drag. Who wants to stay home looking at the same four walls, as nice as they may be?
Fortunately, we have not been banned from the outdoors and fresh air. In May some beautiful insects begin to appear in force and I was out hunting them. With a camera of course.
Here are four recent beauties I captured digitally.

Milo, your bug photos are very interesting, detailed and beautiful too. The male dragonfly wings look like leaded glass.
