Beautiful. Just for a sense of scale, could you tell me how big these insects are?

 

[Steve Dormer]

Wow! I only wish I could take images as good as these.

With Natural History photography the standards are getting so high now days, in my opinion your images are up there. They a crystal sharp where required, of an interesting composition and beautiful colours in particular image one. What's more the backgrounds do not distract the eye away from the insects, which is often the case and in fact I think they actually compliment the image in each case. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Steve.

Rob - The Southern hawker is 70mm head to tail. The Emerald damselfly is 38mm.
