The rules are pretty straight forward. Post your favourite insect photo of a living insect. ie a dead nailed one is not ok!

Post processing is allowed.

It doesn't matter when the photo is taken, to counterbalance that there are not many insects around for us living in the northern hemisphere at the moment.


Go nuts!

Cheers Roger

There's no fun in winning if the competitions low.
I don't have a macro but I'll try.
