How do you get them. I very rarely get any insects except bees the others are to quick. Is there some trick to get the to stay in the same spot for a bit longer?

You have to approach them slowly and hope they don't take off. I find the jumpers hard to photograph because they have very good eyesight and move quickly. You just have to keep at it. Some bugs just sit there. Here's an odd looking fly of sorts.

Help me make this the biggest bug thread. A smörgåsbord of sorts. Here's a green Hornet. They are big and aggressive so I don't get to close. They have a metallic green shine to them and get up to 2 inches or more in length as this one is.
