Mini beast safari

At lunchtime, when it’s dry, I go for a walk in the fields around the Business Park where I work, and seek out the mini-beasts!

Here’s a fly (not sure which!) absolutely covered in pollen



Shield bug



Caterpillar (anyone know which please?)



Ladybird larva



Unidentified (furry!!) beetle



Hoverfly



And finally a skipper



Thanks for looking!

Re: Mini beast safari

Nice selection, were all those shots hand held or did you have a tripod?

Re: Mini beast safari

Thanks Kevin, all hand held (too lazy to carry / work with a tripod...).

Thanks Mark, it's quite possible that there are plantains about there! I'll have a better look next time I'm there. He was on an oxeye daisy when I took the picture.

Re: Mini beast safari

Very nice set. Particularly like the 'skipper', super focus and great detail.
