A few Damsels from 2010

[Greytop]

These are all from last June, there seemed to be quite a few about in the garden at that time.
Lunch is being devoured in the last four images...

Comments welcomed

















Thanks for looking

A very nice set, Greytop.

Particularly like the close ups, and especially the second, where he is looking directly at you.

What lens where you using ? Sigma 150mm f2.8 ?

You have some real belters there, great series!

I'm ignorant about these things. What is it eating, is it a piece of leaf?

Thanks for your comments Garry, yes you are spot on with the lens, it's one of my favourite pieces of glass

Thanks for the comments Pol
I'm pretty sure it's eating another insect, here is a closer crop of the second from last image.
You can see a leg and wings... not a pretty sight.

Thanks for the closer crop, which is so good!

So much detail, right down to the hairs on the leg of the insect about to be eaten.

Very impressive Huw with lots detail and vibrant colours.
The head on closeup certainly deserves a special mention,
