Lovely set. :)

The Cricket and the Moth shots are particularly bw!

... Unlike the bookworthy smiley, :(
They really need to sort out these smileys, they are as creatively challenged as my Y fronts.

Great set Brian. My favorites are the shield-bug and the second potter wasp shot.

Lovely set Brian. All great shots but my favorite is the Speckled Bush Cricket as I love its shadow detail on the backlit leaf.

Thanks all for the comments - appreciated :)

Snowy maybe you should design a Y front smiley .

Just for interest - shot below was my first view of the SBC before it peeked over the edge of the leaf.

Fabulous set Brian, that speckled wood could do with a shave! :-) I've just had a pre-formed pond delivered to me today, only a small pond (150 litres) but my idea is to take some 'sludge' from the bottom of an established pond and add it to mine when its in place in the hope that it will become established sooner rather than later.

Thanks George. Hope your pond works out
