Mostly Macro Monsters for Monochrome Monday
I had different ideas for Monochrome Monday but then I saw a bug...
There I was, macro lens attached to my camera, ready to head off in search of pretty flowers. Some motion in the corner of my eye caught my attention. That's a pretty bug (butterfly or moth?)
Of course, the wasps and hornets are everywhere, buzzing around the yard. They're scary when you get up close!
Now here's a true monster...
Then I saw a little jumping spider and spent the next several minutes trying to get a close shot. These little guys move around fairly quick. It was tough to get him in focus.
Finally, a little GIF file to show you the spider running around.

Thank you so much @curie! I greatly appreciate your support!
Alright ... what did I do to deserve that. LOL. Closeups of a spider ... like a whole series of them:) I didn't think the wasp looked all that bad ... though those little SOB's are sure annoying. The Wasp shot is a real keeper ... love to see the color version.
So sorry to creep you out with moving spiders! Perhaps I should have saved that for Halloween ! Here's the colour version of the wasp. Thanks very much, @prydefoltz :)
Yeah ... that is a masterful shot:)
Thank you very much @pixresteemer!
I really like your post Keith, I especially like the moth how you capture the moth in mid air. Awesome!!! Thank for sharing.
Thanks a lot @waterfordguy!
Oi! Close ups of a spider? A little warning next time, please. LOL
Great photos though
Haha sorry about the spiders! :)

I've never seen a photo with a butterfly landing....I've seen plenty with landed but not in the process. Very pretty even in b&w.
Is that a mosquito?? You certainly did get close!!!
Great job! Another curie vote for you!!! Awesome @keithboone!
Thank you very much @countrygirl - yes, I think that's a mosquito. I'm thrilled about the curie vote! :)
Love your fabulous monochrome images Keith. How you managed to get so much detail on your mosquito capture is quite incredible as they are so small. I think the photo of the moth preparing to land is superb but I have to say the bee is really awesome. (U & R )
