Macro

The wet 3!

Well I can sum up today’s weather in one simple word, wet!

Althought the weather didn’t put me off the insects appeared to have a lot more sense, and so there were very few macro close-up subjects to be found at Blashford Lakes nature reserve.

I managed to get decent photo’s of 3 different types, before heading for the dry as the rain got heavier.

1 of 3 – Green Nettle Weevil (Phyllobius pomaceus)
