Paul

ID eludes me still, though there are a couple of possibilities, just need an expert to confirm! Thank you Paul.

Thanks Polly. I try to edit them to the best of my ability. Paul.

I've not seen any this year (so far)... Paul.

(Image heavy)... On a cool evening tonight, between 7.40pm and 8pm, I had loads of time to get some nice photos of this beauty - which looks like it has had a run in with a spiders web... I was able to get lots of angles as it sat on a leaf, and I eventually popped it onto a rose flower, not sure where else I could place it. Paul.

It was nearly midnight. It had to be sleeping Paul.

I noticed m8. Paul.

Thank you Geoff. Paul.

My garden is small. But any amount of soil and greenery is worth having, but I have to look hard, and it's hard on the bones... Paul.

Ah, the magic of the crop. Most useful in macro, less so in other genres... Paul.

They are bizarre, but very interesting in what they do. Paul.

Seems so far, nobody can... Cheers Geoff. Paul.

Diffusers help but are cumbersome. I have to resort to more editing time with them, to try and reduce the glare... Paul.

The problem with multiple lenses is extra weight....

That would be me too. One lens on a trip and that's it. Anything in another genre, and crash bang wallop, chances gone... Paul.

Thank you Denis Paul.

Couple of tireless bees today: Paul.

Little lady. Paul.

Great find John! Always wanted one of these cats but never managed to find one. Paul.

Cheers Fogey Paul.

Still not a confirmed ID on this hairy caterpillar (someone suggested ruby tiger moth) but it looks much too pale to be that... Paul.

It's camouflage and protection. While these lacewing nymphs are voracious eaters and love aphids etc, they can be targeted by their own species - so this "house" prevents cannibalistic con-specifics. Paul.

Amaurobius sp. male and female in close proximity on the garden.... Uncropped and cropped for extras. Paul.

Thanks Geoff. They are rather unusual despite being common - though not easily found. Paul.

A crab spider: An opilione: A few bugs in the soil... A miridae bug And finally two globular springtails courting... Paul.

Spotted this little 'un - not sure but I think it's only the second time I have found one in the garden. Paul.
