Envious of Pepperberry's "tame" dragonflies, I went on my own bug hunt this morning, armed with the KP and K 135mm f2.5 with 21mm ext. tube. Apart from the cinnabar moth which had just hatched, they were all very nervous and most unwilling to pose. Not only fluttering away at the slightest movement but also hiding behind whatever they could find!

thank you...

I am grateful for their ability to determine that I am not a threat..... some of the species here, however, are very difficult to capture......
