Mikes Insect a day for August

[Mike Jackson]

Thanks Sarah. The damsel was shot at f/20 so I'm not sure I'd get much more depth of field. I tend not to use any more than f/22 on my macro lens but I'll have to have a play and see what happens.

Anyway onto

Day 24 Another spider

Torrential rain today and not an insect in sight indoors means that I've got to bring out one of my reserves.

Day 25 Shield Bug

Thanks Ceri. Last day today but I'll probably keep it going with any new insects I get until the winter kills them all off.
