    @Ante1 What a Beastie, he does look rather miffed.

    Stags are not common these days. They need good homes

    Stunning photos both. Sheps, I hope you find time somehow for more of your photography. I have missed it. 

    I agree. Those fly shots are simply stunning!
    Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. 

    I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

    Smaller than I expected a praying mantis to be (maybe 1.25" total length).

    @SYinUSA great camouflage, I had to zoom in to see it.

    I think it might be a she.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Backlit Large White on Verbena, though I'm more than happy to be corrected on the species as I'm not 100% on the Butterfly ID.

    Crikey. @Sheps what camera do you use?
  • ShepsSheps Posts: 2,236
    @Fire thanks...the camera is a 12yr old Canon 7D paired to a Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro lens.

    The previous fly shots used the same combo but with a Raynox DCR 150 Achromat attached.
