spreads it's wings in a backyard in NE Mpls. About this photo- This photo was taken with a 105 macro lens in early evening light. The dark background is due to the insect being in sunlight and the background in shadow. I got this photo because a friend of mine purchased an egg sack in the spring to put in his garden to control pests. He has found about seven of the stealthy creatures around his house and garden this fall.scott goihlhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625420/St Paul Pioneer Press//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625420&size=128&m=None//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625420&size=128&m=Nonesmg praying mantis 1http://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625420/Nature and ScenicsNature and Scenicshttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625414/A Great Blue Heron flys over the waters near Lock and Dam #1 on the Mississippi River.scott goihlhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625414/St Paul Pioneer Press//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625414&size=128&m=None//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625414&size=128&m=Nonesmg heron flighthttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625414/Nature and ScenicsNature and Scenicshttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625404/A barn spider with a paper wasp that was caught in it's web on a deck in NE MPls. This photo was taken at night with a macro lens and a strobe. The orb in the background is a street lamp. Every day for four days this diligent little arachnid's web would be knocked down by wind or rain and every night he would rebuild it in the same spot on my deck. I guess after the fourth day he decided to find a more sheltered spot.scott goihlhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625404/St Paul Pioneer Press//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625404&size=128&m=None//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625404&size=128&m=Nonesmg barn spiderhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625404/Nature and ScenicsNature and Scenicshttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625421/A tiger swallowtail takes flight from a coneflower in a garden in NE Mpls. This photo was shot on a cloudy day at 1/100 of a second with a 500 mm lens and a tiny bit of fill flash. The butterfly is just lifting off the coneflower to fly to another. I have made many attempted combinations of shutter speeds and lighting conditions over the past two summers to freeze the body of the butterfly and retain the motion in the wings. Thankfully tiger swallowtails are frequent guests in our garden.scott goihlhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625421/St Paul Pioneer Press//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625421&size=128&m=None//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625421&size=128&m=Nonesmg tiger swallowtailhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625421/Nature and ScenicsNature and Scenicshttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625415/A male Ruby-throated humming bird buzzes around a feeder at Sugarloaf Cove on the north shore of Lake Superior.scott goihlhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625415/St Paul Pioneer Press//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625415&size=128&m=None//pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=169&ptp_photo_id=spp:625415&size=128&m=Nonesmg humming birdhttp://gallery.pictopia.com/twincities/gallery/534/photo/625415/Nature and ScenicsNature and Scenics
