Headed out to the Barker Reservoir again today. I really like this place. Already finding plenty of off the beaten path places where the scrub and briar are to thick for the average park goer to venture. Very tranquil and relaxing to not see another human being for several hours. Density of the brush makes it though to get some shots but the place teems with critters. Loads of robber flies so I have been working on capturing those with limited success so far. As I found out today Robbers aren't at the top of the food chain......
Started out the Day with this minute Hopper - No more than 3 or 4mm long.

These guys look fierce. Under exposed the shot so I had to kick up exposure in post

I was honing in on this robber, it was dining on a honey bee when all of the sudden.......

Or the Macro's credo: "F/16 & practice, practice, practice".

I've had worse and more destructive ones, this one keeps me off the street and in the shrubbery and mostly conscious.......

Nor did I, startled me at first as I was concentrating on the robber and then a green flash entered the frame.Your last image is a real "Gotcha" shot. I did not see that one coming.
