There were somedays over the Bank Holidays when it was so hot that, rather than plod all over the landscape in search of wildlife, I decided to just sit in the grass under the shade of a tree and explore the wildlife within immediate reach of a macro lens. ....... like this infant froghopper larva producing a bubblebath of plant sap....
.... and this spider suspender in an almost invisible web....
.... and these two minute flies (Sepsis spp.?) with eyes like garnets.

ReplyDeleteHi Adrian, I'm well into low-energy-expenditure photography, preferably with a glass of cold beer within easy reach...
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I'm rather fond of these little insects, especially when the adults ping around the garden in summer
