Insects

This big bee went buzzing erratically in my front yard and kept landing on this gunny sack bag. Must have mistook it for its beehive.
Found a small beautiful cocoon hanging on my fence. Curious on what might be inside, a worm? Put it in a glass jar and next morning a moth or butterfly emerged but was dead because it was entrapped. So butterflies are meant to fly free. (The small empty cocoon skin is in between they moth and jar.)

Another insect that always hang around my plants. Its wings have transparent spots. They are tiny about 1 cm long head to tail.



I like this blue and black butterfly. It loves the nectar of the water jasmine flowers. The scent always attracts insects as well as bees.


Another butterfly resting on a leaf. It seems to be enjoying the afternoon sun shining on its back because it was here for quite a while.
