I took the bike down to a wetland area a while back. I had hoped to buy some eggs at the Skutan farm, but was informed by the farmer that the chickens were busy laying eggs. The cafe was also closed, so that's why I continued to the wetland for some bird watching from the tower. Obviously no birds were visible. So my last chance of some interesting photos was the insects at the wetland.

Nice shot. I'm surprised he stayed there while you took his photo.
ReplyDeleteVery nice macro shot. Have to agree with Andy about the grasshopper staying still.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that you never gave up until you got a shot - and a good one, too!
ReplyDeleteExcellent macro, love your title made me think of Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one so close!
ReplyDeleteAs has already been said, very nicely done. Is this the old trick with super glue, only kidding!
ReplyDeleteHope you got some eggs on the way back
ReplyDeleteNo eggs yet. But I will try again on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteExcellent macro. He obviously noticed there were no birds too or he would not have stayed long enough for the photos. Not being eaten is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth :)
nice, but somehow i prefer butterflies... :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pict.
