Loads of detail and spot on lighting in these Alf.
Really liking that first mayfly with those crazy eyes, very unusual.

Thanks Ryan
It was not easy getting the mayfly shots

I would have thought that the ant shots were harder, all very good.

Usually I reckon you would be right about the ants but these ones just strolled around taking things easy by comparison to any other ant I have seen they are also relatively large all making the relatively easy to shoot.

Nice series. First time I see that type of Harvestmen.

Not a type of harvestman but a juvenile I suspect
