Saturday Critters #509

 I only have a few very small critters to share here today.
These are from our trip yesterday to

Grasshopper
It's little feet were so cute and it cared not how close I got.

The Sunflowers were covered in Yellow Jackets Honey Bees (thanks Diane).
I don't ever remember seeing so many in the fields of Sunflowers.

Beauty and the Beast
The hubs named this picture...this Cabbage White refused to land on a pretty flower.
It gave all of its attention to the wilting ones...how kind.

Dahlia with an Ant...they always have Ants on them.

- don't let the small things bug you -

    We sure have had a 'buggy' summer! Love your big beautiful blooms! Do you think those bees might be honey bees? They were on the sunflowers here earlier this summer. Enjoy your weekend!

    I was surprised at how many were on the sunflowers I saw but they didn't come after me...a clue! Honey bees doing their job!

    Lovely photos. Your dahlia photos has a really clear white color.
    Grasshoppers have been plenty this year, more than bees. Must be they like the rain.

    You know the difference between a grasshopper and a locust? Behavior. A locust is just a grasshopper in a swarm.

    The insects are busy here, especially the bees. When miss so much when we don’t take the time to look at the smallest creatures. Great photos, Debbie.

    Hello Debbie,
    A great post with lovely flowers and insects.
    The sunflower with the honey bees and the Dahlia are some of my favorites.
    I love that quote too, so true, don't let the small things bug you.
    Thank you for linking up and sharing your post.
    Take care, have a great day and happy new week!

    How beautiful ! Love the close up of the sunflower with the honey bees and I have not seen a grasshopper in years. My white hydrangeas are also full of large ants. I cut some to bring inside and noticed the ants!!

    I was just telling Greg how close you can get to things when taking pictures and I told him I think they know when it is a guy coming towards them or a lady :) Love the details you got! That Dahlia is just gorgeous!
