A bit of an icon, methinks!

Don’t blame me… someone else started this. But here it is, anyway!

Note the ever present cup of coffee – and all those soft toys. They are, of course, nothing to do with me. I’ve only just spotted them!!

It was good to see this chap in the garden this afternoon. Luckily he moved as the mower approached! And then he posed for me. Another macro shot – a 70mm lens on the Nikon D300 and Sigma Ringflash for a bit more illumination.

Over the last couple of days, these chaps – and a bunch of their mates – have been quietly stripping a small twisted willow tree in our garden.
We think they are Sawfly larvae (I’d have called it a caterpillar and left it at that!) but that name awaits confirmation.

Let us know what you think. Click on ‘Leave a Comment’ above the picture.

The same method as with Freddie the Fly here – Bumble was caught under a glass in my conservatory and then placed on a white board spotted with honey. (S)he loved it!
Taken using a 70mm macro lens on my D300 with a Sigma ring-flash.
Here’s a close up of the head. Note the dandruff!

I’m getting into Macro photography. This is Freddie tucking into (sucking into, actually) honey on a plate.
