Hi Mark- good shots- first guess would be a sawfly possibly gooseberry or turnip. How long was it?

Hiya Lester, Alan,
Thanks for your comments, it's a strange thing this Macro, since I've been doin this I'm amazed at the countless varieties of insect, bugs, etc. that there are, I know that they've always been there I spoze but my eyes are getting used to spotting them as an interest rather than just an annoyance that need flitting away.
Cheer for now
Mark

no end to the variety of insect species - probably as many still to be classified. 1000 species of Earwigs alone! Only wish they came out in the winter instead of clashing with the tennis season!
#2 is good, hard to get detail on those black insects.

Hiya Racketman,
Thanks for your comments, now there's an insect I've not seen since starting Macro, like a policeman, never can find one when you want one eh, usually you turn over any old piece of wood & there they are but oh no, where they've all gone!!!
Cheers for now
Mark

Nice shots.

As for the earwig... I have a zillion of those specimens in my house at the moment. They like to hide under the dog's food dish.
