A couple more insect photos. [View all]

Here are a couple of new insect photos. Both specimens are in the entomology teaching collection at Humboldt State University. These were photographed rather hurriedly at the end of fall semester before I left for Arizona.

This is Paradejeania rutiliodes, a large, hairy tachinid fly. Mendocino County, California, 2000.

This is a common western bumble bee, Bombus nevadensis. Harney County, Oregon 1980.

I hope you like them! There are high resolution images and more at https://mcamann.smugmug.com/browse
