There were lots of beautiful varieties of bees, most of which I had trouble taking pictures of because the plants were swaying in the breeze, and on top of that the bees were busy and always moving.

This wasp was resting. It's wings were a little tattered.

I think this is an ambush bug. Notice the mantis-like grabbing front legs.

A little moth. It looked kind of stiff, and I thought it might be dead, but after I took the picture, I touched it and it flew away.
