Boss photos you've taken

Struggling to find macro subjects and even for trying to produce images with a degree of quality, it's getting harder as the winter draws in.

Just got a few today which ain't the best, but gotta keep trying to shoot things on my day off from work!

So what do we have today then?


#1 & #2: The female gravid orb spider by day.

#4: A cranefly on a concrete post.

#5 & #6: Trapped on the top of a fence, a fly and an aphid.

#7: A fruit fly on the bin.

And finally...

#8: Bilbo, our kitten who came for a nosey at what I was looking at on the screen of the camera afterwards, and then stuck his nose right up to the lens...

That's all I managed today folks. Make of them what you will :)

I think this is a sawfly - measured only approximately 3-4mm long. One pane of the wing is black - the rest transparent but with a nice luminosity and rainbow of colours.

You would never guess what the background is though - but this little beastie had come into the house when the door to the garden was open tonight as I photographed a member of the local arachnid population, and it landed on the plastic bag in which 3 buns were safely wrapped to keep them fresh...

Being indoors in it's own home-made studio, meant no wind to cause problems, just a case of having to reach to the back of the worktop to avoid disturbing it (would have flown had I moved the bag) so not 100% straightforward, though not too difficult.
