Insects in Macro


I have only just started my macro adventures and really enjoy the challenges it brings to photography, i do love the garden so very much and now the weather is warming up the sounds change to buzzing and rustling as buggies wake up to enjoy the spring and summer months.  

Above i found this bright green spider sitting camouflage inside a flower i have never seen one like this before and below cuddled into the purple sprouting broccoli this little spider 


The ants are out surveying their surrounding area and the bees are busy already collecting pollen

 Even the dreaded mozzies are out waiting to bite me YIKES i hate these things.

 Bees, and bumble bees fly through the air with purpose and flies are already doing their best to get trapped in my house head butting the windows.
Not forgetting the beautiful ladybirds which always seem to be at it i think they should be renamed to lovebugs.

    You've unveiled the secret life of plants and flowers with your macro shots.

    Loving these - that spider one particularly. It adds a whole new dimension to macro plant shots!
    You can keep the ant one though ;)
    Bring on a summer of macro!
    Thanks for joining in again :) x

    Just awesome, the colours are so awesome that I find the crispness of them hits me in the face! The second one is my favourite.

    amazing photos Helen. i have not used a macro lens for several years but one summer i had a lovely time taking shots of all the insects and close ups of the pretty flowers. i think the ladybirds playing piggy back (or are they *ahem* ??!!) is my favourite x
