Found this leaf bug (katydid) in Rosalind Park yesterday morning, didn't notice it until I was looking closely at the plant it is on, wanted a shot of the red leaves with water drops with some green in the background, I think this is better though!

A stunning and rare Wasp Spider tucking into a tasty catch. Quite gory when you go in close!

I was looking for butterflies in a scrubby limestone area near Riberac in France and noticed these incredible insects with shimmering yellow wings whizzing about. Close-up they are just amazing, and surprising from all angles.

Well, I never knew flies 'cocked' their leg. ;-))

What is it?

I'm not sure what was going on here, really, but I'm intrigued.
