    Default Some recent Insect photos

    During my Summer walks I managed to photograph these beauties.
    They are a Broad Bodied Chaser, Large Red Damselfly, Peacock Butterfly and a Hoverfly species. Enjoy.
    Steve.

    Great photography, Steve! I love the shot of the Hoverfly on the purple blooms. Great focus and detail!

    The shots are stunning! I do like all of them, but the first and the second are simply the best! I know it is not quite easy to make such photo.
