The educated woodlouse seems to be reading about sturdy tripods! Did you use one? And I do wish you would stop that business with the bees on your hand. It makes me nervous.

Good set, Brian.

Thanks Rob - No , no tripod. That was an info card thing from digital camera mag (the mag had one of my photos in it). I use pieces of card to trap bugs in the house using a glass.
Sorry re the bees but I can't help feeling sorry for them when they are cold and or wet and let them walk onto my hand to warm up
