Stunning photos. I especially like no. 2, but then I prefer flowers to bugs!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks everyone. The first picture was my most exciting. It was a huge caterpillar!
Clarky, The last one is a globular Springtail about 2mm in length. Cute little things as Dan says
