This is the butterfly expanding its wings fully.

Took a while to get it working but it seems to be OK now
Very cool!! I kept replaying them because I was hoping for a full expanded wing shot.

Great shot! I've seen only one of these in my life in the wild and I live in Idaho. One of the most unique looking things I've ever seen. They are incredibly fast too.

Here is one of my best bee shots so far. I took it on Sunday...it is a tiny bee on a clover blossom. I used a Canon 30D, 24-105 L series lens, kenko extension tubes, flash and an index card as a reflector.

Very interesting shots.

My only comment, is when posting more than one image in a message, hitting enter a few times between shots make them easier to see. First time I every saw a Bee Fly, never knew they existed.... Are the located only in your area?

That is a Latrodectus variolus. A type of Black Widow. I would suggest you not mess with it.
