Aren't insects really wondrous when looked at close-up?

Thanks Pip - managed to snap a few more today - but I will leave them for a while - don't want to bore people rigid with my daft hobby (I really do enjoy seeing the detail in these little critters that is beyond my normal vision! Nature is wonderful  x Tig |

Tig, I take my hat off to you......that is one mighty camera you have! I've never knowingly been able to harm any sort of insect but I dont think I can bring myself to 'like' them. You've got to respect them though haven't you? Such complex little things.

Well, under normal circumstances - here is something I don't like  , Having said that - the cold weather obviously slows them down, so I dared get a little bit closer -   Quite cuddly looking - in a strange sort of way  x Tig |

they are such beautiful creatures when you can see them this close. Dont get that close to waspies even if it is cold.  Great Tig thanks. |

Not a clue, but why is a froghopper called a froghopper?
Some very strange images come before my eyes.

Lovely bee - roll on summer  Ever wonder where the shield bugs go in the winter? Don't clear up all the fallen leaves!! I found this today - nearly trod on it  |

Aww, poor wee thing! I suppose for an insect that's as close to 'getting cosy' as you can |

Sorry taken so long to reply...had to go and find camera Its a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. Do you know about cameras then FA It seems very good at distance pics and other types ie if something is moving, but the macro setting is'nt very macro if you see what I mean! FF x |
