Yup. Some have found it, most haven't. There's been ongoing threads about it on Depressing Review (Why do I keep reading that site?).

As I posted in your duplicate thread:
Were you using the 2sec timer? There's a known problem when using the 2sec timer on the K20D that causes "hot pixels" (that's what this looks like) which is apparently a firmware bug which Pentax have said they will be releasing a fix for in the coming weeks.

That's great. I know how hard it is to get those blighters in flight.
sockpuppet - for me, I only ever use MF for macro insects. It takes a lot of practice, patience and luck, but does pay off. With AF you'll almost always end up with the bit you want most OOF.

I do realise the seriousness of the risk to your gear, but your rendition of the story had me and my OH in tears - of laughter. Just picturing the scene with a baby kangaroo is too much I hope everyone elses weekend was a little less stressful

I really like the last four of the Redshank and the Swallow

I was under the impression that the females had the pinkish tinge and the males were all blue. From that description, though, it certainly does appear to be male. I'd like to personally apologise to the Damselfly, but I fear it may be long gone

Looks like a female Common Blue Damselfly. Sorry, once I get my own macro lens out I can't help identifying everything. Thankfully, I still don't remember the Latin names.
