Over the last couple of days, I had the chance to take a few hikes along the banks of a local river. On the way, I came across a variety of fascinating and colorful insects.
I've done my best to offer identifications for each species I was able to photograph, but I welcome your suggestions if you believe I have misidentified anything.
Enjoy!
