That wolf spider portrait is excellent! I also like the color in the marmalade fly shot.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks again for the comments Have to admit I personally like the butterfly and cuddly bee best but I have taken a lot of shots of that wolfspider (it likes sunbathing on one of my kneeling mats).

you seem to be stuck on f11 iso200 with your Mp E65 - don't blame you as it certainly does the business. The detail on the Comma is impressive. Obviously the insects in your garden are all tamed by now which is cheating.
