    Your timing is amazing! Great shot. I’m so excited to see another insect lover join the bubble :)

  • Many thanks Renee! Yes I really like insects too. It’s amazing how versitile these little creatures are and how the have evolved over millions of years to adopt to changes in their habitat.

    The lighting is great. Do your use a ring flash?

  • Yes, ringlight with diffusor is the way to go to freeze this little guy in his movement.
