Trailblazr80 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Went to Mojave (around the poppy reserve area and Ripley park) and found lots of insects! A cool find was 2 pairs of mating blister beetles. No collecting, photos only. If anyone can identify anything else, please do- especially that red guy with wings on the purple flowers.

Trailblazr80 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks! Ha. It's just an iPhone. I'd love to have the equipment for macro shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatwun Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Great finds, here we have saw palmettos and when they flower there are tons of insects that gather to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great when things are in bloom, so much to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 That red wasp looks very similar to this one : http://bugguide.net/node/view/176341/bgpage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
