      2. Ok I guess it is. Posted 3 years ago
  2. Regardless of the genus and species, it is just a downright beautiful insect. The translucent wings with the black veins, along with the yellow and black alternating pattern of the body and the long slender black filament antenna all combine to make a splendid display of nature. Do you have any other shots using a different background? Posted 3 years ago
    1. William thank you, no that's where it landed, no other options. Posted 3 years ago
