The Grasshopper nymphs were not easy to get a shot of.

Thanks Adrain patience is less of an issue than speed of focus (manually often by moving the camera) and reaction to position/composotion. Also stalking ability.

Great set of images Alf, showing fine detail, good composition and well controlled lighting.

Nice. I particularly like the fly. Rather small I imagine.

Thanks Nick the fly was maybe 5mm so not that small.

#2 is cool where its gripping around the stalk of grass.
