Great capture of “Mr Whiskers” Andrew !
I spotted this one out the front while dragging Sally for a walk. I had plenty of time to go back and get the camera and take lots of shots.
Brilliant work Andrew … cheers kev
Thanks, Kev.
I have noticed they often sit in one spot for quite a while and allow one to get fairly close.
Especially in the mornings when it is still cool.
I saw one of these the other day & wondered what it was, thanks! Lovely detail!
Thanks very much. Keep an eye out for them with prey. They prey on other insects and often fly around with their dinner in their clutches.
