You guys were tremendous during my first-ever insect print sale last December. You ordered several hundred prints, quite literally an order of magnitude more than I’d anticipated.
So I’m doing another one. The spring print sale will go online in mid-April with 30 selected prints discounted severely, starting at $3.99/each for a 5×7. Here’s the new bit: this time I am crowd-sourcing part of the selection.
15 of the 30 images I’m leaving open for you guys to decide. If there’s a particular photograph you’ve been eyeing, let me know via email, facebook, or the comments below.
I would have to suggest either your great Plectroctena shots or an Oecophylla one! Both!

Good suggestions, both. I was leaning more towards the other Plectroctena shot in the series: http://www.alexanderwild.com/Ants/Taxonomic-List-of-Ant-Genera/Plectroctena/8710782_cCqzk2#!i=2074445772&k=W75J75X
Also a winner!
I second Oecophylla. I would suggest

True to form, I’m voting for a fly photo –

If not that, then I cast my vote for any of your “Ants on Black with Glass” series!
I too second Oecophylla:

And I would like to add Atta:

I would like to add a vote for any one of these salticids!

I love the Atta photos and the black ants on glass…besides sooooo many others! Thanks for giving us another shot!
I love the lacewing eggs!

Atta, black ants on glass, salticids, that polistes dominula shot first in the wasp/bee/sawfly gallery – its all good stuff!
I love love LOVE the sweat bees on sideoats grama. Artistic, entomologically interesting, and gorgeous.
That’s an excellent suggestion.
I’ve seen a lot of different ants over the years, and nothing surprises me anymore, until I saw Cephalotes clypeatus! I would buy a print of the head shot:

I would *love* a print of the portrait of a mature honey bee queen….
http://www.alexanderwild.com/Insects/Bees-Wasps-and-Sawflies/4230200_rM6tm2#!i=937088142&k=JskV9n7
Or the picture with a worker, queen and drone on a white background… But then they are also so fascinating, I love them all.
Yay! I love your insects-on-white photos! Especially these:

I also like the ants-on-black and insects-on-other-solid-colors. (I also love your natural shots, but I think these would all look stunning together on one of our poor bare walls.) Thanks & can’t wait!
