Thanks for your comments I think I have got the bug for macro...ha ha.

I only have to nip out the house for a few minutes to get pics. Then spend some time trying to identify them.

In order of appearance:- speckled bush cricket, hover fly & thick legged flower beetle.

I nipped out again today. Loads of ladybirds on a bush and a hawthorn shield bug. Not seen a shield bug in donkey's years.

All taken with my recently acquired Sigma 105 f2.8 EX DG








The first two pics I used flash. All hand held.

Only had the lens a few weeks and I am very happy with it.
