very interesting find Doug, Ive never seen anything like that before, very interesting indeed !!

nice shot Mark, to bad about the out of focus grass right in front of his face though

nice shot Nikola, as always, nice and sharp and I like the composition and the angles of the wings, well done

been a while since I posted here,, its been a strange macro season here in Central Florida for me I do like these little nectar sucking flies though

very nice, I like the first one the best

hey,,, you get around dont you great series, love the light and sharpness

wow,,, thats close !! nice shot Ken

very nice Ken,, love those hoverflies

drought?? are you having a drought there in the mountains Ken? We are haveing our everyday afternoon showers here, typical of Florida summertime,, youre really dry there ??
Nice captures there Ken

those are really cool looking ants,, Ive seen a few but they seem to move VERY fast through the foliage and you have to be quick with your camera or youd miss your oppurtunity,, nice capture Ken

Thats what one would think,, but not this time he just landed there when I caught this one,, Thanks for commenting Ken

Oooh what an excellent shot!! One question though... why are there spider webs around them? Thanks Michael and PT,, PT,, I watched this Diogmite as he flew with his catch ,, he latched onto this plant where he hung and ate,, there must have been a spider nearby or something because he had just land...

otherwise known as a Diogmite

Excellent capture!! I guess the 2nd is just a crop of the first - because it looks quite over sharpened. Anyway, the first pic is perfect. Cheers Yes,, you are correct,, I did very little sharpening on the original shot and was kinda suprised at how it did look oversharpened on the crop,, kinda wei...
