How can we get bored of these shots they are all crisp and pixel sharp ... I reckon you could make money for nature magazines personally .. I love your shots keep em coming ....

PS the only thing I suffer on your posts is equipment envy lol and maybe the tube of superglue I reckon you carry around to keep these lil guys still long enough to get these kind of shots !!

Okay Michael, that first one is just too darn scary...man I hate those things. All are wonderful shots however. Thanks for sharing.
It's interesting that due to the fact I'm terrified of wasps that I've never seen one so close up...now I can see what I'm afraid of....and I'm no less scared.

I absolutely love these shots! I'm new, so I am tired of NOTHING on this site! I am learning so much... and these shots are beautiful (aside from the ickyness of the subjects)....

Thanks FoG! Your comments are much appreciated.

Super Glue, Hum??? Now that's an Idea!!!!! I'd probably have a few angry Insect rights activists after me for that one!!! Thanks for the Kind Words.

You made me Laugh Leona! I'm scared of them too, but only when they get too friendly!

I have no Idea Ian, but he was too big for a tick, I think it was a result of the North Korea nuke testing. L.o.l
