The first one ticks all my boxes -

simple, clean, elegant.

Lovely.

Ya, they look alright (jealous mode:meh: :indifferent .........(damn, look at the first shot, it's awesome)

I will give myself a month to resist it

Good set of images Bryn, some fine detail and nice lighting. I guess #1 & #6 would be the pick of the set for me.

These are awesome. I like the first one obvs, but the two stood side by side is my favourite

I think you just have two species in the second, despite the large numbers. The smaller ones (Vertagopus arboreus?) are just at different stages in their life-cycle, I reckon.

Cheers mate most appreciated... glad someone else likes that one wish I had caught the little one at the right time to get its face in focus but it was on the move and when they are that tiny is really hard to see that as you know.

I had a funny feeling they maybe same as there were hundreds of them under a wet grass blade.

Thanks mate, I do really love them I didn't even know they existed for 32 years of my life. it's such an eye opener Macro. Can't wait for the rest of the bugs... especially the hovers and dragons and damsels
