Insects
Always fascinating ... not always easy to photograph !
But these little beauties don't mind if you're fairly close. Because they move so quickly, you have to wait until they settle ....

No photo, but the other day I sensed something on my finger. Good job I didn't immediately brush it off because it was a brown grasshopper or cricket. Had a hard job getting it to climb off, reminded me of the dragonfly that I had real difficulty in getting to let go a week or so back.

The only insects which pay attention to me are wasps, hornets, mosquitos, horse flies, etc...
Have you a tip or has it to do with your Cologne ?

Re: Insects
Perhaps the problem is your Cologne, Biloute
Seriously though, some people attract insects, others don't and there isn't always an explanation !

Re: Insects
Nice shots Blaze
Well done Biloute, I don't often see those around here - the first one that visited my garden was huge, they're peculiar looking creatures aren't they.
Oh I don't wear any smelly stuff when I go hunting insects.
