Hiya al.

Found this Bush Cricket hanging on for dear life or that's how it appeared :lol:
Is there nowhere with no wind :rolleyes::lol: managed a few shots before it
' Pinged off ' to Pastures new

I was annoyed for not getting the Ovipositor shot IF :evil: thought it would make a change from the eyes.

Cheers for now
Mark

Hiya Brian,

Many thanks for your kind words & comments,
I managed to go for a walk today for the first time in ten months, managed two miles & it bloody near killed me :lol:

I took the camera to practice some landscapes shots, I spotted this little B.C. when I stopped for one of my many breaks, I also spotted a dozen or more Calopteryx maculata all dancing around a rock about 40 yrds. away but darned if I could get a shot of em as the rock was in the middle of the river that was in full Spate, think I'll go back there in a couple of days foot permitting :D

Cheers for now
Mark

Nice shots Mark, looks like the cricket has lost a leg. I never see crickets, guess I'll have to look harder :-)
