Mmmmmm...... I can quite see why you were so keen to find them Mick.... they're really lovely, aren't they.

You've got a super macro image there lad - very well done.

WOWZER, spectacular insect and picture Mick. It is a shame for me that our owl flies aren't on the same page when it comes to looks (lol). TFS this gem!
