Yesterday while I was taking shots of the sawfly for the stack I posted, I spotted this tiny Springtail. I had the camera set up for stack, flash off and wide open lens. So took a few shots and this was the only one that almost made it! Had to crop heavily and fool around trying to make sense of it. So lots of noise etc. I vey seldom see these here. By the time I had reset the camera the little guy had disappeared, not to be found!

You might want to have a look at it in original size !

These metallic looking guys have a larger fleeing distance than the one from yesterday. Although there were plenty around, I didn't get that much pictures from them.This one I like the most from the view shots I was able to take.

Taken at natural light with an MP-E 65 at 1x magnification.

I was very surprised to see a cold looking Queen wasp the other day, sitting in a variegated holly bush. It eventually felt the warmth of my hand and walked on. It was beginning to get rather dark from in coming rain clouds so I took it into the Porch

I am not much of an insect photographer, but this one did not chase me so I stood my ground and took a picture.

Not sure what this critter is but I spotted him/her on the patio table so got off a few shots with my macro lens before he/she cluttered off
