Thanks Rick. I like these bugs, and it is great to get one or two half decent shots of them.

Thank you. I still have not found any other pictures to help with ID, but I am pretty happy with the light, slowly some things are sinking in

Lovely captures Bas- good coincidence too - just managed a bad shot of the same beetle species I think Yesterday - Guessing it's a tiger beetle.
