Sam Droege of The US Geological Survey Bee Survey and Monitoring Lab has a fabulous Flickr page of bees, other insects and invertebrates, and even a few vertebrates. I can’t let Matthew and Jerry get all the best insect posts!

Here’s a spider.

And, more to my tastes, even a vertebrate:

There are over a 1000 photos at the site; all are worth at least a look, and many a lot more than that.
