Great stuff again,
I found a dead fly on a window sill, but it didn't look that good in the viewfinder.

Not sure what this is but very nice colours
Think it might be a Leptocoris species nymph. Yes, nice colours. Not sure what this is but very nice colours
I like the spider shot, reminds me of something we saw up in the Blue Mountains, in a lodge we stayed in - scurried about on the wall above the bed - gave us the heebie-jeebies!

K-3, a macro lens and a DA*300mm...

Clarky,
I was just looking at the "Fly" shot again and marveling at how well the wings picked up the colour of the flowers.
We have these huge dragon flies at the lake. I've got to get them to land on flowers!
So far, they just don't listen to me

Hi Clarky,
That femail Ariel Weaver, there seems to be a lot of these about in the garden at the moment, along with the ones that curl a leaf up in the centre of the web and hide in it.
As soon as my cameras get here I will get some shots and post (I cant wait)
Anyway a good couple of pics mate
Regards
PaulM

The leaf curler spider is very abundant at the moment. But there is always plenty of spiders about, you will have a field day when your camera arrives.Hi Clarky,
