Now this is an excellent first post to this forum Terri! Love it!!
A wonderful motif shot for this week with very good comp showing one who is about to munch out on the other.
Nice detail where it counts most, the exposure is just right, and I have no nits at all with this one!

Again Terri, welcome to NSN and the flora/macro forum.
Looking forward to some more wonderful posts like this from you!

Mike

Terri,

Very cool. I do have an affinity for bugs, but for some reason don't photograph them as much as I should. Very nice capture and good behaviour shot! The background really helps these guys pop!

Welcome and thanks for sharing.

Terri, It's great to see you here on NSN! A big warm welcome!

I remember you from the old days...

Wow! This is an amazing shot. I really envy these macro shots and I can't imagine the amount of patience this took. Two for the price of one too! I haven't a single nit or crit! Just awesome.

I'm hoping to see many more shots from you in the future.

Excellent capture, terri! It's really difficult for me to work in the garden with my camera around my neck. How do you manage?

Oh, Tim....I just don't work in the garden anymore! :roll: Although I should, I usually just walk around with the camera. I've naturalized so much of my garden that I don't have a lot to do, as long as I can tolerate a weed here or there.
