"Bug Hunting"

I try to make it a habit to go out into the garden occasionally with my camera setup to get pretty close (usually a 70-200mm w/25mm extension tube) When the summer flowers are in full bloom is an opportune time. The echinacea, daisy, black-eyed Susan and mint are all especially attractive to "bugs". Late morning and late afternoon seem to be the best times. I've been a little slack this year, but managed to take time out of my day to do some "hunting" yesterday.
