Squash bug and dragonfly

A few from our local country park over the last couple of evenings - I'm trying to make the most of light evenings after work while I can

Good set, Emma...loving the bug, though it looks like one of the Squash Bugs ( Dock Bug : COREUS MARGINATUS ) very cool

Cheers Andy - there goes my dodgy ID again......I'll edit the title!

Well done Emma. I think #2 is especially good. Lovely clarity and detail, in the surroundings as well as the subject - and lots within the DOF.

Very nice shots - the second is a good shot of the Dock bug, and like the angle on the dragon

Thank you Chris and Nick - I wasn't sure about the dragonfly - I'd have preferred to be a bit lower but he was a bit flighty!
