In the U.K. they are coming to the end of Insect Week, sponsored by the Royal Entomological Society. (But in this post I am showing only my own photos of California insects.) I heard about Insect Week from Blogger Katie, whose butterfly embroideries I have admired for a while at ArtyMissK. Her photography is fantastic, too; by it she reveals here the glory of a “simple” black Dor beetle, and many other examples. Have a look at these “Little Things That Run the World”:

Thank you for the link 🙂 Since I have started photographing all sorts of things, I have been transported to a different world as far as insects are concerned. Many of them are really beautiful to look at more closely.

I confess, I’ve never heard of insect week. Judging by the ants I keep fighting and the mosquitoes that seem to be plentiful, they are celebrating in full force!
