A few different shots from me (some bugs as well of course)

IPClark

I have a few bug shots of course but yesterday I decided to open up the aperture much further than my usual F11 on 2 or 3 of them to get something a little more abstract. They're a little out of my normal comfort zone of bugs (mainly as there weren't many about although I've a few bugs as well of course).

Abstract Droplet - F3.5



Another single droplet @ F8 but a little closer than the image above.



A fly @ F3.5 - Thankfully it was very small given the tiny DoF I was working with



A droplet on a Bluebell @ F5.0 - Flowers aren't my forté



Back to my normal F11 for the following images

Droplets in a spiders web (Single frame)



Tiny fly on the tip of a blade of grass



A larger fly in a rather yellowish environment.


...and a fly I'm not sure on the I.D of, or whether I should even have let it go onto my hand

lovely series. Esp like #2 & #3.
The last fly is a sawfly - I think a Solomon's seal sawfly.

Thank you Brian, and also for the ID. Must admit I wasn't overly sure as to whether I should let it go on my hand hehe. It was perfectly happy though.

The only bugs I don't like on my hands are slugs and snails- obviously I'm not too keen on biting/blood sucking bugs, but you don't tend to notice them until it's too late

....like this horrible one that was on me when I came back from a hiking trip in Scotland
