Fly
Suspicious Looking Character
On a platform overlooking the Missouri River at Indian Cave State Park in southeast Nebraska I spotted this strange, long-legged, fuzzy fly sitting on the weathered railing. It reacted to our presence but didn’t fly away – not at first. That gave me time to zoom in and snap a few images.

Monarch Squadron
All three of these monarch butterflies are in flight. They were circling, and eventually landing and feeding on, the purple asters in a vacant field near the building where I work.
I didn’t see a lot of butterflies this year, but when I did, it was all within a few weeks at the end of the summer. This photo was taken in late September.
In the interest of full disclosure, you should know this is a composite image. I combined three separate photos – each with one butterfly – to create this image of three butterflies. They were all photographed exactly as you see them…in the location that you see them…just at different moments.
