I'm still waiting for some warmer weather to appear but I've managed to photograph a few different species for the Meet Your Neighbours project in recent weeks (see the project website or this post to find out more). Here's a little selection:
PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE
A small Nomada Bee sleeping with its jaws locked onto a piece of conifer
A Sitona species Weevil
A female Tawny Mining Bee
A Green Lacewing
A Tawny Mining Bee on Flowering Redcurrant
and a nice copper coloured Ground Beetle (Poecilus cupreus)
Awesome shots, Matt. The weevil is my fav out of the six.
ReplyDeleteI've just invested in a Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM, so looking forward to capturing some macro images this year.
thanks Andy. That's a nice lens, I'm sure you'll enjoy using it.
