I love these small insects, and they are often the first I photograph in early spring around April. They are quite difficult to get close to, and will fly up and land a few feet away all the time.
I once photographed a mating pair, where the female was holding an ant in its mouth. Incredible mouth parts they got
This picture is simply the best portrait I've ever seen of this green fellow. I presume it's a stack, right ? Excellent, I need to learn to do that some time.
