Him and her

Duck face

The weather went off again today, because of course it did, but I managed to get out in the garden with the camera while it was still only mizzling. Needless to say though, these conditions weren’t any more attractive to … Continued

Colourful

by JDO | posted in: Flies, Invertebrates, Worcestershire | 0

Overly colourful, if we’re honest. If I’d had more energy this evening, I’d have selectively edited this to dampen the hemp agrimony down a bit, and let the Phasia hemiptera sing out in his full glory. As it is, I’ll … Continued

Clean

Hoppy

by JDO | posted in: Bugs, Invertebrates, Worcestershire | 0

I think this is probably one of the strangest images I’ve ever posted, but it cost me so much time and effort to capture it that I now find myself hopelessly attached to it. It’s a face-on shot of a … Continued

Dusty

Gaudy
