Snap!! http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/DSCF2058.jpg A couple of weeks ago, I heard the low buzzing sound and slowish flight. I thought it might be a hornet but I assumed with those double wings it would be some sort of dragonfly. This is the final of my half a dozen or so photos as I was able to get closer and closer. I'd just picked off some flower heads from the rhodie and in another photo which I seem to have discarded, it looked as though it had stuck a probosus into the broken off head it's now staring at and was bringing up a liquid of sorts. (uggh!) |

Isn't it a shame that the manufacturer did not have time to finish the paint job on the wings! |

wrote: Excellent shot -- Robert thanks for the compliment, although I was lucky with the light and, in any case, providing the insect doesn't scoot, it's almost impossible to fail a close-up with a point and shoot in macro mode - I'm sure you know. As I was getting the camera out of its case, I watched it move its head around. Fascinating, almost like a mechanical joint. |
