Mixed May Stuff

[ChrisA]

Here's some macro bugs that I've taken in May.

No real theme - but here goes. And I start with something I've not seen before a native ant carrying a leaf.

A camoflagued crab spider...

Mating Nettle Weevils

Cricket on Bluebells

Scorpion Fly

Nut Weevil

And a Soldier Beetle

All taken with Canon MPE-65mm lens.

You have taken some cracking shots there Chris, great focus and spot on lighting

Chris the theme is they are good.

That's a super set Chris. Great variety. I like them all, the nut weevil most of all.

Wonderful set with great detail - the weevils are my favourite too. I'd never noticed scorpion flies until this week - their tails are amazing!

Great shots, i like the cricket best, and i suspect that the ant is probably just removing the leaf from near it's nest site

 

[coopers]

Great set and variety
Nut Weevil is my fave as I've never seen one ! so a bit jealous here

Could be only saw it for a few seconds before it disappeared. So not sure if removing or adding.
