Hi Philippe,
You have some really nice shots, I especially like the syrphid and the Bombus. Have you considered filling our your user account information? I'm curious about your background and the camera equipment you are using.

Done
Thanks Lynette, I just did.
I wasn't sure in the first place whether I was going to have much material to post (most of my stuff is naturally from Belgium), but I came to enjoy Bugguide very much for its own sake - I mean, spotting similarities and differences between the insect fauna on both continents, etc... I also found the guide and people very helpful indeed for IDing my vacation pîctures!...
Philippe
