Very good Paul. They're certainly in abundance at the moment. I'll let you photograph them as you do much better

Scary looking critters. Well done.

Cheera Ian - won't do many more - enough is enough of the same, lol.. I want different bugs next time I go looking, but got a 5 day run at work starting tomoz. Gonna be almost impossible to get anything done.

Thanks Phil - they do look sinister as larva - but they do good as LB's apart from the these harleys which are getting to be a problem.

Lovely series of closeups Paul. Normally difficult to get sight of any mouthparts.

Thanks Brian - I was fortunate that it was coming straight at me at a good shooting level (live view is a wonderful thing)...
