After stripping the 5D down today to get the dust out of the viewfinder :wacky: I went out into the garden and found this little beauty, I'm really pleased because I have never had these in the garden and this one just wasn't bothered at all.
We started off in the grass

Then because it was windy I tried to hold the grass it was on still with my hand, but it decided it felt more at home climbing on my hand :)

My what big eyes you have, but your breath stinks a bit :)

Friendly little fella Keith isn't he, excellent detail too, nicely showing the mouth pincers/fangs (y)
 
Great job! I'm jealous, every time I try to take a picture of a damsel it promptly takes off.
I think you have a new pet there. ;)
 
The last one's great Keith....almost looks like a characature/caricature (depends how you like to spell it !)

That last shot takes the whole packet of biscuits.
 
The eyes have it!

Got some similar shots of the head of one of these myself. Found mine on a windowsill and he was pretty dusty in close up. Yours looks much nicer.
 
#3 is something else :eek: Keith
Nice (y)
 
Stunning shots :clap: He's a beauty :love: All great, but no3: is better than great :)
