Olympus E-3, Sigmas 150mm f/2.8 f/5.6 1/250th iso 400 flash
This little Carpenter Bee was covered in pollen as she worked her way though the flowers in the garden. She was a very dark shiny green with striking large eyes. I used a tripod and a wireless remote, single field image.

It was raining and the light was good so I was wandering around looking for thing to shoot and I found this long thin milkweed pod with some seeds just being released. This shot is a 20 shot field focus stack Olympus E-3 and Sigma 150mm f/2.8 at f/5.6 1/180th iso 400 natural light on a tripod with a remote release. PP Zerene Stacker and PSCS5 - Toxomerus geminatus - female was attracted to the milkweed flowers in the garden to feed on nectar. 
Olympus E-3 Sigma 150mm f/2.8 at f/16, 1/15th sec.,iso400 on a tripod with remote shutter release. I was in my garden stacking out the milkweed flowers and got these two flyers, the upper one is a European Paper Wasp - Polistes dominula and the lower one is a Sweat Bee - Lasioglossum coriaceum ? Correct me if the identification is wrong.
