Lovely capture Pauline, never seen these one of these, you've done a great job of just not getting the photo but getting it pin sharp as usual, well done

Ok. Now I'm pretty jealous!

Seriously though Pauline. A fab shot of a species I would LOVE to see! Well done. :-)

The female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Thanks Jules, Roger and Wayne: funny really that folks like this shot cos I'm not that taken with it - I like to get a decent background out of focus and its just not possible with these ... unless I can find one that is cold and slow and that shouldn't be difficult up here just now (and wet too for good measure) flaming June!!!!!

I can see it would certainly be possible to improve on the background, but in the meantime - wow! You got the insect and you got it beautifully crisp.
