I don't like sharing large albums of similar photos but I am making an exception here in order to share more detail of these insects. Focus stacking wasn't possible due to the movement so there is a very shallow depth of field despite shooting f/8 to f/11 (that's just the nature of macro photography). The Yellow and black bumblebee was enormous, and the mantis was unexpected in the region. We found them in Montana (Flathead Lake area). Enjoy!
