I've got some hard won photos of various insects - I'll dig them out of my archives and post them next week.Susan A Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216267529948378488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369429383948592696.post-52111390949997799822015-06-08T18:01:24.705+01:002015-06-08T18:01:24.705+01:00Love these close up shots.
