As much as I admire and am wowed by your photographic skills, even you can't make love bugs cute and appealing! Nice try...probably as good as it gets with these critters.

I have to say one of my all time favorites is the photo of the mother (or father?) Sandhill crane teaching the baby how to fly.

Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing your prizes with us.

Redwitch...this one is for you.. We know how much you look forward to love bug season.

They have short but exciting lives. That is for sure.

Such beautiful shots. Did you use a macro lens for those shots?
