Yesterday afternoon I had a visit from Rob Gray, whom I met recently. Rob is a highly experienced nature photographer and all round nice guy. He shares my fascination for macro photography so we went bug hunting in the garden. Up until now, I hadn't tried (or had much success with) insect macros but after getting some tips from Rob, I found my results improved a lot. I was amazed how many different creatures we found in a small area once we started looking.
This bright little bug was sitting on a blade of grass so you can get and idea of how small it was. Quite a challenge to photograph but fortunately it wasn't moving too quickly. I didn't quite nail the focus but it's fairly close. Next time...
