Wow, what a great set of macro shots. What strikes me most in that set is the beautiful array of colors!

Hi everyone,

Not for the challenge but just to share. Here are some critters from Thailand including various dragon and damsel flies, a butterfly and a brown recluse spider.

This extended exposure, taken at night on a dock at Canandaigua Lake, shows the flight patterns of many insects as they paint with light from a dock lamp. Note the wing-beating patterns.

Kelly, cool! Saw something sort of similar in a pond but had no idea what it would grow up into. Yours is much prettier!
