Some new ones-
This one I like quite a bit, but if I crop it, then it is not as good, but also monitor is bit small so one don't see details from small pic, problematic, but still I like it a lot, it has 'life' in it
There was tens of these flying around:

Cool man.
That one should be in a Pampers/Cow and Gate advert.
Quality.

These are from my yard, yesterday and some from today, there is really lot of buzzing going on as all this happens simultaneous and all day, must be hundreds of creatures there doing their stuff, construction of those creatures is incredible, impossible to see all that detail with naked eye, hope you enjoy them also.
We have indeed some grasshoppers, how many counts as a problem?
Our bumble bees are not lazy, it is pain to get one decent photo where bee is flying, so far no luck.
There is some competition to bees so they must work hard
Lazy bum, get your arse moving!
Pretty difficult to get any decent on fly shot there either, I have only around 2cm distance where image is sharp.
There were few others too, take a peek if interested:

Thx, I think there is room for improvement, I forgot to set EV 1 or 2 knotches down for grasshopper photos (Nikon and lot of green = fail with exposure metering), few came out bit dark, some have not best composing and those flying insects photos are blurry, need more practise or maybe I'm just bit too critical with my photos

Something different this time, ultralight suddenly came about and noticed nice sunset, so I did try to make some composition, stupid streetlamps are just ruining whole thing, imo. I could of course photoshop them off
There is moon at sky right now...

d3k4y0, really nice artistic shot, it is like from some advert
Speedy88, lol at that racoon or whatever kind of creature that is
It starts to be dark soon, so got little test what I see above:
This I took bit earlier, it is almost time for sunrise, still stupid lights are burning. I did calculate 5 cars during 5 hours and 0 pedestrians, what a waste keeping those lights on.
