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.

Green Nature Anthrax Fly
Anthrax Fly commented on by Green Nature Michigan, USA7 years ago

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.

Green Nature Brown marmorated stink bug, first instar
Brown marmorated stink bug, first instar commented on by Green Nature North Carolina, USA7 years ago

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 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.
