Re: Insects... the season starts slowly and chilly
I have also been finding insects a bit thin on the ground so far this year, and those which are present seem to be very flighty.
I did get a Dotted Bee-fly a couple of days ago but it was a rather distant shot and there were many failures because two of them were chasing each other around and not settling for long enough to focus.
