Gorgeous shot! Insects are like flowers - they look better with raindrops on!

Amazing photograph. The rain has some uses when photographing insects after all. Really like this shot.

Thank you all for the comments, this was the first day in what seemed ages when it wasn't raining, foggy or what felt like blowing a gale and that's at 6.00am!
