What day was the photo taken?

September 30, 2010

Photo Description

I found a great place to get insect shots. Wal-Mart garden center! They are just beginning to get the fall flowers and the bees, flies, butterflies, and moths were everywhere! They were all so busy that they didn't even notice me.

This bee looks like he is hanging on for dear life! He is bigger than the flower he is holding onto!

Advice

  • Gardens, garden centers, and butterfly habitats make great spots to find insects.
  • They seem to like the bright colors the best. The red, yellow, and bright pink blooms had the most visitors.
