It is a bee of some kind (jpeg image from the camera)What is that black insect. He looks amazing!
Me three, but you get to see its wings in the other. I had not seen a bee like this beforeI like the colors and composition of the first shot. It's more elegant and you get a better understanding of the scene than in the 2nd.
The wings look bee like, but the large black body doesn’t look like that of a bee. Also, I can’t make out if it has hairs on its body.It is a bee of some kind (jpeg image from the camera)
I love the colours on this guy.Grasshopper in a field where I was watching Swallow-Tailed Kites. Possibly a future snack for one of the kites.View attachment 45976

Thanks Kev it is funny because I have been trying to give the 200-6000 and 1.4 tc a work out the last couple of weeks, so you can see the spider and prey when up close then I needed to walk back 16-18 feet for the shot, tbh I possibly have some better shots I just do not want to edit everything anymore it is time consumingTop shots Gary. poor dragon...
Yeah I'm way behind on editing because I do take a fair few moth pics when I trap, and so other stuff gets left. It takes a long time to go through and I'm not always in the mood.Thanks Kev it is funny because I have been trying to give the 200-6000 and 1.4 tc a work out the last couple of weeks, so you can see the spider and prey when up close then I needed to walk back 16-18 feet for the shot, tbh I possibly have some better shots I just do not want to edit everything anymore it is time consuming
I am confused?Was a strange day, as we almost stepped on a snake on the way into the park (but this ain't a snake thread - ONLY one I have seen all year, which is odd) - and to make it stranger, I was on the loo when I kept hearing this rusty metal/scraping coming from behind the block. I thought, ah it must just be the wind blowing something (as you would and being as we have another typhoon going on here) --- but upon washing my hands, I noticed all the camera gear on the ground just off the path. And then my wife popped her head around the corner, signalling with her finger, "shh" - she then passed me the viewfinder to look into, and there was a Crested Goshawk in a tree there right behind the park toilets that she had snapped --- at least I believe it is, as I find it easy to mix this one up with the Little Sparrowhawk; but its bloomers and eyes and talon size seem more like the former than the latter.
