Well you can tell when summer is around the corner: the insects and bugs start to appear in force, and I spend much of my time crawling around on the ground with a macro lens. I've started an album over on my main web site, creatively entitled Insects and Bugs<\/a>. Here's a small sample:<\/p>\n

Harlequin Ladybird<\/span><\/a>
The harlequin is an invader species, larger and more voracious than our native ladybirds. <\/p>\n

Large Red Damselfly<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Nursery web spider<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Speckled Wood butterfly<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Azure damselfly<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Camera note: all shots (except the butterfly) taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro + Kenko Teleplus 1.4x Pro 300 DG teleconverter. The speckled wood butterfly was taken with the EF 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6L USM IS + an extension tube.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[991,71,1009],"tags":[107,1132],"class_list":["post-1125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-insects-2","category-ladybird","category-spiders-2","tag-insects","tag-spider","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t
