Its been a really late summer up here this year. The leaves have only just come out within the last two weeks!
Nonetheless, there are always some variety of creepy-crawlie out there. Plenty of ants and dragons anyhow.
Speaking of ants, here are some ants herding aphids:
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro, 1/60, f/32, ISO 100, monopod, triple flash
Nikon D2X, Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro w/ 158mm extension, 1/60, f/32, ISO 100, tripod, focus rail, remote release, triple flash
Nikon D2X, Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro w/ 158mm extension, 1/60, f/32, ISO 100, tripod, focus rail, remote release, triple flash
.
Not sure who this little girl is but she sure is pretty! I'll look her up later:
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro w/36mm additional extension, 1/60, f/18, ISO 100, monopod, triple flash
.
A sawfly larva:

.
This dragon was not intimidated by me at all:
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro, 1/60, f/16, ISO 100, monopod, flash
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro, 1/60, f/22, ISO 100, monopod, flash
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro, 1/60, f/22, ISO 100, monopod, flash<crop>
.
This spider on the other hand was quite nervous about the giant looking at him:
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro, 1/60, f/22, ISO 100, handheld, flash
.
One of my favorite subjects - a wolf spider:
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro, 1/60, f/22, ISO 100, handheld, flash
.
I have been trying to get a pic of one of these little black spiders for years now. This is the closest I have come yet. They are really fast and since they are so dark and glossy, they don't photograph well.
Nikon D2X, Nikkor 200mm f4 micro, 1/60, f/22, ISO 100, handheld, flash
.
The last photo for tonight (more to process tomorrow). Not sure what these ants are disassembling but they sure wanted it bad!
