What would you suggest as a suitable subject, given that insects are getting more scarce in the garden as winter approaches?

Something shiny I imagine?

I’ve not seen anything outside in the last couple weeks, a couple of ladybirds today but they were out of reach, and for me macro is not really about inanimate objects so I’m struggling. I can see now why folks keep things in the freezer or purchase online for these testing moments

how about a metal measuring spoon or teaspoon?  It’s meant to be raining tomorrow so I’ll try it and let you know
