Beetle

I found this busy beetle while on a walk. I stopped for a rest and noticed him next to a nearby tree. When I got closer I realized how big he actually was and was fascinated by his movements and overall look. Didn't have too much time to take the picture as this guy really liked to get under all the grass and leaves around him.

Chippy the Chipmunk

This is Chippy. I met him while hiking on a local trail. I stopped to get some photos of the birds around me when Chippy approached. He ended up sticking around for a bit and was quite fascinated with what I was doing.

Goldenrod Soldier Beetles

This photo was taken on a local trail during the summer. Initially, when I saw "the bug" I wasn't sure what it was and it looked rather large compared to the ones beside it. When I got my camera ready and focused, I was surprised to see that there were actually two of them there.

Wasp

This little guy was giving me a bit of a hard time as he wasn't too keen on staying in one spot for too long. I ended up backing up to give him some space and he settled down long enough for me to take my shot.
