My Digital Photography of Insects and Spiders

All of the photos before July 30, 2006 were captured with a Minolta D'Image 7Hi digital camera.  After this, some photos may have been taken by my second camera, a Canon EOS 30D.  All insects and spiders were native to the Metro-Detroit area unless otherwise specified. 

Many insects were photographed on flowers.  If you like photography of flowers, I also have some flower pictures without insects on the Flower Photography Page.  I have links to photographs of reptiles, amphibians and fish on my Pets Page.  If you enjoy nature as much as I do, also check out my Saugatuck Dunes and other Wooded Scenes,  Wildlife on the Huron River and Fungi and Lichens pages.
