OK - I can't get near one of these, and you've got them 'eating out of your hands' ;-)

Great shots as usual. I epsecially like #s 3 & 5 with the sparkles in the background! Not as sure of the grasshopper this time, based on your excellent previous works.....

keep em coming...

Hi Trevor,

Nice shots! Pavlov's damsel flies...like my Pavlov's chipmunk...I mean how'd you get them to sit there like that! I also love the blue one!

Very nice shot of dragonfly on your hand. Love the close up of the blue damselfly! Good focus on that one - and what a beauty!

I thought a quick explanation was callled for. Oddly for semi aquatic creatures this one had fallen in the water and was struggling. One guy hooked it out and let it sit on his hand while it dried out and two us had this great opportunity. The real hero didn't get any pictures because he was holding the dragonfly. A couple of minutes and you'll all be pleased to know it flew off safely.

Hi Trevor,

I see no further need for you to jump from a tall building or for 'Raynox Paranoia'. These shots are wonderful!

I am still trying to get similar shots but without much success, but getting closer, thanks to your help and all of the others here.

Thanks for sharing them with us, Regards, Ken.
