all good as expected, but especially #2 - love the beetle getting in on the act
Well captured set David, especially 1,2 and 4.
A great bunch of captures. I particularly like the hoverfly, perhaps in part because I find them so difficult to capture.
Cheers John
Thank's Mark, I never saw the Beetle at the time of capture but it makes a good addition
Thank's Matt
Cheers John, thank's for commenting
Thanks Dan, they can be tricky, I have had a few opportunities lately but the sun has been to bright, which has been useless against their shiny bodies saying that it has rained non stop here for the last two days
Your hoverfly is a Sphaerophoria; possibly S. scripta going by the apparent short wings.
Not sure about the dragonfly from that angle. Maybe a Common Darter?
The others are species which I tend to leave alone because there are so many similar options when working from photos; although with a bit of time at the keys it may be possible to reach family level.
excellent set of macros..no1 being my fave..great work David
Thank's Geoff for the I.d's
Cheers Kev, much appreciated bud
Fascinating images.
Thanks Dave, glad you liked them bud
