No.3, the DLL for me!

I can vouch for the degree of difficulty in achieving eyes-in-focus on these creatures , I've tried & it is extremely hard to get!

Great shot!.

Roger.

I read somewhere that their legs are "deciduous".....
get your brain round that, then!!

Thanks, Steve.

Only thrips I ever saw were the really tiny ones scurrying about behind framed picture glass. Could never figure out why or how they ever got in there....

As always, it's only when you really start trying to find something, it becomes apparent just how many different sorts of everything there are!!!

Wonderful!

Roger.

..........Oh, nearly forgot!

The scabious was still "set up" from these, I went into the conservatory & there was a small skipper fluttering about.
Caught him in the paper-&-glass device & then "let him loose" onto the flower, where he stayed, feeding, for about 10 minutes!

Be rude not to snap him, don't you think?
