It's funny how transfixed I am on your insect images given that I have no interest in insects generally, but I find myself studying these and finding your images very fascinating. I used to do a lot of macro work. Maybe I should pull out the macro lenses more often. Thank you for such a great series and for the inspiration to give this a try myself.

Thank you Lee, these insects fascinate me as well and are great fun to witness their behaviours in the wild. Do hope you get to try chasing them with your macro lens

One reason I pay attention to the Gallery section is precisely to see the good work of others, learn from them, take inspiration, and most importantly, get out there and shoot pictures.
