And something pretty to finish on a local Blue Skipper. Don't be fooled by its closed wing colour when they open up they are nice and blue.

    Ralf...

    I think your butterfly shots are beautiful...dont think you could have got better background colors if you had chosen them yourself....

    Great wasp shot too...a different body shape to the ones we have here..

    So sharp this arm wrestling ...ahem...shot of the spiders....

    Enjoyed them all and also the fly shots in your other thread!!!

    Patricia...........:D

    Thank you Patricia, you're too kind.

    I have only recently taken up Macro photography and have a great teacher. She is a very experience nature photographer that we are fortunate enough to have in our camera group here localy that I started 2.5 years ago. It is just a constant matter of going out and "Hunting" and it is interesting how enjoyable the "Hunt" actually is, the excitement of finding something worthwhile to shoot let alone the satisfaction of getting it right "In camera"
