Garden Safari

[Venomator]

Yeah, not my definition of cute... but a good shot nonetheless
Btw - what is it? I haven't seen one before.

Not too sure Min ... best guess is some form of Shield Bug ... possibly Red-legged ...

A couple more.

Ken.

Those middle two are of the Hummingbird Hawkmoth (Macroglossum stellatarum) Ken ...

Did you drug it ...

Excellent captures ... tell us the story ...

 

[KenCo]

Found it inside the gazebo, lying on the floor one morning. I put it in a jar and the fridge...cos I didn't have the time to photograph it then. When I got round to it this is how it came out. Found the last one crawling the outside of the gazebo....so anyone wanting to do some macro, put up a gazebo!!!

 

[Venomator]

Cheers Ken ...

Nice shots Ken ... well except for the last one ... bleurghh!!!


Edit: missed word out, waffling!

My lad caught these in the garden, and they happily posed for the shots.
Flash was a bit overpowering as these were taken hand held.

That second pic has a fab 'expression' Matt.
Looks like he wouldnt be out of place as a character in kids tv,
