Wildlife pictures

[Seoras]

I took these two last weekend up in the Lakes. No where near as sharp or as close up as some of your pictures on here but I think they are kinda cute.

Damselfly stare

Frog and Sundew

Here's a couple of photos of insects, a Chimney Sweeper moth and a Rosels Bush cricket.

I love insect and macro photography, these are my first post on this thread so I won't bore you with too many!

Sorry I've not replied Alf, been on my hols!

Here is a dung fly shot I took recently which is spookily similar to yours!

And a flesh fly shot

I'm waiting for some dragonflies but they seem a bit sparse this year!

Nice pair of shots Chris the yellow dung fly is in classic pose looking for prey.

Here's an absolutely tiny spider, on the underside of a hazel leaf. The spider is fully adult, and that is not the largest leaf rib on that leaf. Species is Paidiscura pallens.

Here's the egg sac made by the female, which is bigger than she is. The shape is characteristic.

 

[Harvestman]

Oh yes, I wanted to show this one too, with special thanks to Alf for pointing me towards buying a raynox macro attachment.

Thats a corking shot!

These are very nice shots Mike I love them.

Stunning macro shots! Some of the best I've ever seen!

Kestrel hunting.

Here are some shots of a Zebra jumping spider eating a flying ant. I walked away a couple of times as it started to move away from me hence the location change.

I was lucky enough to see on stalk and catch a may fly the other day at work but I had no camera so this partly make up for that.

Impressive shots Alf, the more so because jumping spiders rarely tackle ants as they are potentially dangerous prey.

Here's a natterjack toad. Not really wildlife as it was at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge in an amphibians display, but what the heck, I got to hold it!

I thought I'd introduce myself with a recent moose shot (who looks like he has a cheeky grin)! This is a bull moose (he's growing his antlers). While the moose in Colorado are the smallest subspecies, they can still weigh around half a metric ton.
