    Very detailed photos Chocky, the first in particular.

    Must have a little read up about the differences, would like to get into insect photography.

    Oh good. I have hundreds of bugs.
    I'm not too sure about those I have uploaded but I do know Crickest have longer antwnae its the only way I should be able to tell the difference but once we have a posative on them they could go in the WellenKamp forum.
    I think the first one is a Bush Cricket

    Yes that would be great Chocky.

    Saw my first large Dragonfly of the season today, just off the ring road in central Reading, but unfortunately didn't have my cameras with me.

    Strange place to see one though.

    I have only seen two Dragonflies this year
    I think they are becoming confused like the bees. I have heard it is to do with mobile phones. My speakers pick mine up if some one rings me and if some one is using blue tooth near by I pick that up. I wonder if the bees and other insects do .

    I think the one I saw was possibly a female Black Tailed Skimmer, but my memory isn't that great, precisely why i carry my camera..
