This fly must want a good scratch under it's leg....




This is a butterfly or moth cocoon - one to keep an eye on in the hope I see something emerge...




This first beetle is tiny - and I mean tiny. Less than 2mm, may have been just 1mm long not counting the antenna...




But this ground beetle was actually injured - it's possible I stood on it when I was looking around the garden, or maybe a bird had it instead, but it's back end was leaking some innards a bit...






Finally, this was as close as I could get with the camera, the whole cranefly was encapsulated inside the inner edge of the ringflash and diffuser!
