Stupid Spider
This zebra jumping spider was very stupid. It hopped around the balcony table and not much after I had taken this photo, it jumped into my tea glass! I rescued it, but after it ran around a little, it just stopped – perhaps it died, but I put it into a flowerpot just in case. But it really seemed to commit teaicide!

Hovercraft
Hoverflies are the more steady fliers of the insect world, but they are still very hard to catch with the camera. This is the best shot I was able to get yet – still not sharp and clear enough.

Just Visiting
Apparently, I was visited by a hornet the other day – I didn’t even know that they were still around here. This one just stopped for a quick rest on a wine leaf and then peacefully buzzed off again :-).

Bee at Work
I think I forgot to post this one a while back… it’s not easy taking a good photo of a bee
(or probably a wasp in this case) when it’s always crawling half into the flowers :-).

The Green Fly
It’s not the green hornet, but the first metallic-green fly I’ve seen this year!
