Great that. It's quite rare to see them in daylight. I found one in my shed a couple of years back.
Boss photos you've taken
- Thread starter chicoazul
- Start date
What was meant to be a few photos of Giant Willow Aphids, became a 100 photo session with them and a group of six wasps that gate-crashed (photobombed?) the party. This post shows just 15, but I had a great time watching and snapping away! I couldn't get too close with all them buzzing around my head - I was leaning into a salix shrub!

They are fascinating - more interesting than the green ones on my roses!
They also seemed to have piqued a bit of interest for a late ladybird larva (Asian/Harlequin I think)...

The shadows lengthen towards the end of another season.
Now moved over from the 70D to the newly released mirrorless R10 but seeing as the first decent image of an insect is a spider, it would be churlish not to share here!

The moral in this photo is don't even for a moment think your TV remote is clean....
And even the mundane is worth trying to shoot...

I've got a LAWOA 85mm Ultra macro lens to have a play with now - its just 78mm long and weighs around 250gm - so nice and light for on the R10 body.
Just given it a trial run - need more practice yet.
