KATYDID NYMPH - print image size 20"x7"
A very tiny katydid nymph (the body was about the size of a grain of rice) on leaf of Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
When I spotted it I thought it was a tiny green spider. Just after this pose, it launched into space, never to be seen again.

EASTERN AMBERWING

Female Eastern Amberwing (Perithemus tenera) on Walter's Viburnum (Viburnum obovatum) 
A series of images combined on 11 layers.
One of our smallest dragonflies at less than an inch long, Eastern Amberwings are often mistaken for paper wasps, due to their size and body shape. If you keep your eyes open you can often find them hunting in various habitats. I have even spotted them in hedges at mall parking lots.
Unlike this female with her stained glass wings, the males have solid bright orange/amber wings.
