I want Summer back!

There are times I am SO glad I am not a flying insect! Wished I could have released him but I would have harmed him more if I had tried.

Green lacewing zoom series . I normally only see these in spider webs, so I cheated when i saw this one and trapped it in a glass and gave it a spot of honey to eat whilst i photographed it. Of course i did release it after. They do have beautiful eyes.

Few more of these appearing in the garden - think this is fairly recently hatched judging by the pale eye colour.

Leaf Mantis

I have not made a lot of these insect macros. I had the macro lens on for another purpose and at that moment decided to photograph this common fly.

I thought it was not bad so decided to put this on Flickr.
