Post your Insect shots

A couple of days ago my son and I went to Wal Mart to get some groceries. I always buy deli sliced ham every time I go to the store. On this day at the bakery, next to the deli, there were three young teen aged girls and one of them had a camera like this L810 set up on a tripod and she was shooting the other two girls holding up the cupcakes and cakes and whatnot. No one was messing with them at all. I walked over and looked at the camera and said cool you are shooting a Nikon. They laughed and didn't say a word. The kid and I got our ham and went on. I seen them all over the store making snaps of each other.

The good lady is busy reading the manual and playing with all the settings at the moment.
That must be one of them "woman" things!
Us guys would have already taken about 40 pics by now and would be checking the manual to see why we screwed up some of the shots! :stupid:

Took this today while waiting for my boys to come out of school. I think the black background of the Jeep really helps the colours stand out.

Took forever to find this in my viewfinder and I think it's a tad blurry.

Woman passing by stated even if she was a professional photographer, taking a photo of a spider would be the last thing she did!
Great shot.. I was after a picture like this for the weekly architecture compo, but alas it never turned up.

I find these bugs by getting up close and personal. I get right into the bushes and look real close. Otherwise I wouldn't find them.

They BOTH belong outside in the yard and in the dirt. In THAT order!
Hope this helps

What do you get if you cross a Daddy Longlegs and a Venus Flytrap?
"LUNCH"!
You would have thought an adult would know better. :stupid:
