Assortment of macros

Hi all

Haven't had a lot of time to get out recently, but here is what I have captured when I did ... hope you enjoy

[lacad01 (Adam)]

Great job. The detail and colour is super. Makes my attempts look like absolute rubbish

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Great set mate. Jealous about that mantis-fly, the in-flight hover is superb, and the robberfly eating lunch is a monster!

Adam - lots of practice and lots of other missed shots that don't make it up here (a lot worse than anything I have seen you post!!)

Thanks Troy. Only the second mantis-fly I have ever seen

Lovely set of macro photos Andrew – I particularly like the native bee and moth portraits!

Cheers

Great shots - are slides 3&4 lacewings? As in precursor of the ant-lion?

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

LOL Yes, I did enjoy them Andrew.
Beautiful work, sharp as.

Magnificent macro work Andrew !
I especially love the first hover shot.

Excellent as usual.

I think it is a Mantis Fly ... it is certainly the same family as lacewings and antlions
