Thank you, the poor little fella nearly got chewed up by my lawnmower, saw him just in time and got me trusty ole alpha, then moved him to a safer area of my garden

Thank you fotoshooter,

auto focus kept focusing on the front of the leaf, set it to manual and tweaked it a little bit to get it onto the little fella, colour brought out a bit more in pp

Love the yellow and black stripes against the leaf and you've captured him neatly nestled in the leaf. Well done.
