A visit to a daisy in the garden proved disastrous for this insect, but provided one of the waiting spiders with lunch.

this was taken at the Hort Park's Butterfly Garden. They're really tame, so its like shooting at the zoo really

Not what I expected to find on a nacturnal foray. this bee was resting in a bark crevice at the base of the big Cefn Ila oak. I would love to get it identiified but bees are out of my remit.

A man will beg

A man will crawl

On the sheer face of love

Like a fly on a wall

It's no secret at all

 

Fly Stomorhina lunata feeding on potentilla - well feeding on a drop of sugar honey syrup I'd placed there. Focus stacked using zerene

While on my hike this morning I came across a friendly Grass Hopper that seemed to want me to take his picture. So I obliged him :)

This one was done hand held in order to get really close. I had to use a larger aperture in order to get the shutter speed fast enough for a hand held shot and that reduced my field of focus.

He does look happy though. Don't you think?

Adult bark fly female - Mesopsocus immunis I think. About 3.5mm body length. Focus stacked using zerene

This time I decided to photograph some insects like grasshoppers and butterflies, so I took a long walk searching for them.

 

Among these flowers there were a lot of butterfies and bees. It was a great scenery. I take lots of photographs from there.
