    Good ones Phil - I find these pretty hard because of their shape- difficult to know what angles to try :)

    The Cranefly has quite a long face, not as easy to capture as those with round faces hu Phil.

    It has very cool eyes and antennas clap.gif ... Skippy :D

    Great shot as usual Phil. Am I right in saying a Crane Fly is what we call a Daddy Long Legs? I have never shot one yet so I cannot compare the difference.
