Shot in July in my garden.

Olympus E-M1, Kiron 105mm macro f11 1/200, ISO 400, twin TTL RC flash, hand-held.

The leather suit looks a bit tight! :D

    Thanks, Brian.

    We had a huge population in our garden this year. We always have a few and, a few weeks before, I always spot a female hanging around for several days. (I have excellent series of shots, as yet unprocessed).

    This year, there was initially just the one but a week or two later I could see at least three (of undetermined sex) at one time. They seem to lay their eggs close to the unopened flower buds.
