Nice shot, I like the way you captured the texture of the wings. Looks as though they are dancing.

I have to agree, the lighting is excellent on these two.

I think pictures with some brightness in them give the picture a nice sunny "warmth" to them. great shot Wim

Thanks for the compliments. I am slowly getting a grip on macro. I have not done much macro photography in the past, perhaps because I always had quite severe hayfever and spend most of the sunny days indoors:) But I had a treatment the last 2 years and now I can hunt insects without scaring them with my sneezes.

I am now trying to use natural light more often. Just using flash to light up the shadows a bit!
