Description There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

I believe the secret is to think of something different to distract yourself just before you hit the ground. Yes?

A very good shot of one of the most beneficial insects to any garden - both in it's larval and adult stages.

Hi Dawn - Martin recommended that I stop by and am I glad he did! This is the first shot (of the many!) that I had to visit! I loved your comment on the front page because I can relate; the funny looks we get when we take some of our shots....which makes me laugh at THEM because they don't have a clue what we're up to! A masterpiece may be being created right before their eyes and they don't know it! They just think we look funny! So be it! This is a simply stunning piece of work! Everything is in perfect place here and I love it! Congrats on a great piece; I can't wait to see the rest of your work!

Wow, very crisp and clear. This is a great shot. You can see the vains in its wings so nicely.

I just read the comment on the prints on your page, and till now I thought many people like bugs. Well I do. Especially this is such a gret shot too.

Thanks I was very pleased with this
Bugs are so much fun to shoot yet birds seem to do better than anything, mind you I do like them as well. as far as prints are concerned though its usually flowers that I`ve sold - even weirder`

Thanks much appreciated, I was really pleased with this - fun of shooting bugs is never knowing what you`re goping to discover when downloading - that and getting funny looks from people walking past my front garden!
