My boys and I went to Chatfield Resevoir, a state park not far from home. With a little mosquito repellant, this is a great time to visit. Everything is buzzing or blooming.

These mating damsel flies let me get close, but only after a few attempts and very slow approaches. When you are hunting you need to be downwind, with photographing insects you need to be "downlight", that is don't let your shadow fall on your subject even during setup. Insects frequently panic and flee if a shadow falls on them. Some insects move in predictable ways that you can take advantage of. Damsel flies, for instance, like to return to the same twig again and again.
