I definitely wont be posting any more for the next few days, at that pond I mentioned in this post
http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/uh-oh-me-again-flowers-this-time-though.549664/

I got my first lot of butterflies - I think they're butterflies, maybe they are moths? But there were LOADS. I must have found a breeding ground.

There were at least a dozen visible sacks within metres of where I stood:

2.. and had loads of these around some flowers and flying about. Lots had landed so I tried getting some different angles/views of the same bug, hope you like :) and ID would be most appreciated

4.. Only when I got back to the PC did I actually notice they were mating. They were quite small butterflies/moths, if saw that there were two of them, I would have tried to get the both of them in focus. There was a slight wind too, so I might try and look through the set to see if I accidentally got the other half in focus and try a stack.

5.. Was quite chuffed with this one, getting a frontal shot while it fed, well, it wasn't difficult, loads of these things (Im talking dozens) were everywhere, feeding.

I do have a lot more of these, doing various things, at some point I'll dig out the different one's and post up mid next week.

Thanks for looking and I really mean that, I've expected a complaint about hogging the thread but thankfully you're a friendly bunch and havent had a complaint :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks ! :)
 
Hi carl,
Nice set you got there and we like your photos so dont worry about hogging.
The red "moth" is a "6 spotted burnet moth" there you go, now you know. :D
Pic No 3 is the best imo.

Thanks
 
Carl watching your progression is fascinating and I do wonder if people that helped me felt the same.

What was your setup for these as if the 24-105 you certainly get better results than me.

Excellent captures here... #3/5
 
Some nice images on here Carl. Keep em coming. Would you like to share where this pond is;)

6d, 24-105 and I think it was the 24mm or 31mm section of an extension tube.

Cheers Carl, just noticed the title!! Lol reminds me of the southpark song Blame Canada!

I'm really impressed with what you are getting with 24-105 though I have only ever used it with full tubes which may be my mistake.
