Black Saddlebags Skimmer, this one did not want to sit very long and it was windy, so best I could get out of five exposures

They never do! I've only got a couple of images of perched Black Saddlebags. We have plenty of them here, they're found anytime people congregate (and draw insects).

The only insect I photographed on Hawaii (also found only one spider to photograph). This is probably Conocephalus saltator which seems to be the most common grasshopper on the islands. It's probably a native, at least not introduced by Europeans but possibly brought by Polynesians.

One of my favorites from last year. Taken at (or near) 2:1 using the LAOWA 100mm lens, cropped to portrait format.

One of the tiny number of insects I photographed on New Zealand. It gets lost visually in the ground clutter.
