great shot, it sure looks like a red hybiscus to me
I agree. The Golden Silk Orb Weaver builds the largest orb web in the United States. I remember walking through one in central FL. Boy oh boy is that a faceful of spider web:)

Sure does look like a Lorquin's Admiral to me. It's a great way to enlarge any butterfly garden.

The spots on the wing indicate it's an Anthrax fly (not the kind of poison anthrax). They are members of the bee fly family. It's a very nice picture also, good macro.

Sure does look like a flea beetle. They are very small and do jump around like a flea when they are disturbed.

Ganoderma, more commonly called reshi. There's a couple of species and they are common in the Pacific Northwest.

sure does look like a Harlequin bug or nymph. They are real garden pests in the South. I see your picture shows it's on a flower in large numbers. In the garden, they can munch away at cole crops such as broccoli and cabbage. They are not beetles, rather they are stink bugs.

Sure does look like a Mountain Ash tree. They are very popular ornamentals with red berries.
Sure looks like a South African Dietes species, Dietes grandiflora. they are popular garden flowers in North America. Wonder if it's an escaped species from someone's garden in Guaamala.
