Damsels In The Rough

[Tomas Whitehouse]

Finally, I've aways wanted to get some shots of these, I found it a little comical the way in which you have to sneak up on them and slowly move in while holding onto your breath.
These chapess's were shy as shy can be!
I've seen some stunning shots on here already but here's my efforts!

Cheers kindly folks!
You should have seen the outfit I wore to become comfortable crawling around on a Finnish forest floor:
Waterproof joggin bottoms with socks drawn up over the legs and a large hoodie and fishermans hat!
I named it the damsel suit!

Finnish red ant bites are not nice and now we have hornets that track you down like arnie in the 'Terminator':eek:! I really like taking photies of bugs but I try not to risk my life!

Hey thanks Christine! Thanks for the kind words.
I've just been having a looksie a your web pages, very nice work indeed!
As for the damsel suit (must always be in bold), I couldn't let images of such advanced technology be leaked onto the internet, :suspect: It would result in my untimely demise.

My mistake, apologies! Maybe next time were at the summer cottage (where pics were taken). I'll ask my missus is she would snap a the damsel suit demonstration picture. But you may have to sign an oath of secrecy :suspect:
