    Hey Steve. Good outing. I like the angle and perspective of the dragonfly. Very unusual shot thumb.gif Could it be a damselfly?

    Hi Steve, the Moth shot is the pick of the bunch for me clap.gif
    The more you look at it, it looks like a little chicken face with a beak.

    I do enjoy finding those little weevils, I have found three inside my house in this last week, I have no clue where they are coming from,
    I even found one in the bathroom in a wet wash cloth.

    I'm wondering if they have somehow come in on my washing,
    since I hang it outside?

    Nice work Steve thumb.gif .... Skippy :D
