Another lovely capture, you have some wonderful insect shots, and the perfect backdrop too. These pieces would not be out of place in a commercial book on insects, the quality is unquestionable.

What Mark-David-Rogers said. I suspect you have an advantage since the wildlife know you and are probably comfortable with your presence. Of course that does not take away from your spectacular skills.

A beautiful almost impossible shot, I tried to photograph one of these but it seemed to know when I was about to press the button and kept flying off.
