    Excellent shots once again Brian. A credit to you. I have no bugs left in my garden so I am waiting patiently until mother in law brings me my MP-E65mm at Xmas.
    Cheers

    I never get bored of looking at your work. Another beautiful example of techniques and I suppose Patience.
    The colours are great, love the sharpness of the antlers/antenna's (?)

    Patricia- with a bit of luck I'll probably have some flying bugs around all winter. Not quite as cold here as in Sweden :)
