A Gorgeous Bug

What Am I?

These photos were from my archive. I have totally forgotten about this amazing and strange looking bug that I saw in the summer. It was hidden underneath some leaves in my garden.

What Are Those Orange Dots?

You know, when you were busy observing something as fascinating as this bug, you forgot to shoot, right? That was me! By the time I remembered to snap some pictures, the bug went away!

Such a Pretty Bug

I still don't know what this bug was, but it was pretty! I like the orange dots on the top of its body, and the beautiful pattern on its wings.

Have a great weekend..

Joining Camera Critters, Newbie Party, and Macro Monday!

Your pretty bug looks like a crane fly and the orange dots could be mites. What ever it is, for sure it is gorgeous in your pictures!

It's fascinating! I would guess the orange dots are eggs.

Great macro of this insect. It does look a great deal like a Crane Fly but their eggs are oblong and black. Those orange dots are rather interesting.

I was sure I had seen this one before but somehow I forgot to comment. I am curious about what type of insect this is too.
