Default Oh The Sweet Nectar!
Well I set myself the challenge of a better butterfly shot this week... and I've failed as they decided to disappear this week, BUT I do have some pretty good shots of this critter feeding! Hope you enjoy!







and finally a clematis flower thrown in for good measure!



Regards,

Alastair

Beautiful shots. What is that bug ? I've never seen anything like it. The last flower shot is stunning.
Thanks for sharing.

thank you for your wonderful comments.

wish I knew what type of critter it is as well! I've never seen it before.
