Macro taken with Sigma 70-300mm @ 300mm on tripod.
Ps, yes i saw POTC 3 this weekend. :P
And yes, a white border is quite stupid for a photo on flickr. I'll remember next time.
a beautiful Juniper Shieldbug on the bedroom window this morning, such a treat to be given the ventral view, transferred it to the sunnier side of the house to warm up and fly more readily back to the hedge.
Unknown larva/caterpillar. This was found on 25 June 2013 in a packet of greens bought from a supermarket! It was alive, so I released it into the garden.

Comme Madame vient de se taper un bellargus, on aperçoit de loin en loin les écailles bleues de sa victime...
never seen this little bug before. Thought it was an extra large ant when I first spotted it, then thought it was a flightless wasp but then I spotted it's proboscis. very fast mover unlike most plant bugs. Body length about 5mm.
Id'd as Myrmecoris gracilis - a predator often on ant broods (but not the adults)
First narcissus fly hoverfly - meredon equestris I've seen this year. Appropriately sitting on a daffodil leaf
Native Drone Fly ( Eristalinus punctulatus )
Taken SW Sydney, so happy feeding that it wasnt at all bothered by my snapping
Small hoverfly looking for aphids to lay it's eggs near. This one seemed to be tasting the leaf with it's proboscis. It then laid an egg on the underside of a leaf
Another Alpine insect I found. It looked very strange but I was able to get very close without it hopping away!
Insect and flower. I shot this series with Olympus TOUGH TG-5 by using (normal) macro feature. In this case I could not use extended focus because insect was moving way too fast and it was quite challange to get some photos even with normal macro. I shot over 200 photos to get these few. However with compact macro (with small sensor size) this is somewhat easier than with full frame sensor DSLR and macro lens. Hausjärvi, Finland. 28.8.2017
Lynx Spiders are hunting spiders that spend their lives on plants, flowers and shrubs. Nimble runners and jumpers, they rely on their keen eyesight to stalk, chase or ambush prey. Six of their eight eyes are arranged in a hexagon-like pattern, a characteristic that identifies them as members of the family Oxyopidae. They also have spiny legs.
Common genera in the United States include Oxyopes—the common lynx spiders—and Peucetia—the green lynx spiders.
Some members of the genus Oxyopes are abundant enough to be important in agricultural systems as biological control agents. This is especially true of the striped lynx spider (Oxyopes salticus).
A member of the genus Tapinillus is remarkable as being one of the few social spiders, living in colonies.
