I look, I look again, I drool, I wish, I say to myself.....
.....why can't I find any bugs
It is not fair that you can always find some bugs
This drought is not good for the bugs either.

Thanks for sharing Brian, and what a Bee Butt shot

Thanks Skippy- UK climate does have some advantages (though it's cold and wet today). Plenty of bugs about when the sun is out though
Had great fun with that bumblebee did try to get a headshot but it was totally unpredictable where it was going to go next- was also a tight squeeze fitting it in at the 1:1 min of an MPE-65
