OMG, Vickie! I can’t believe you sat on this image for a year before showing us…I’m so impressed with your clarity and detail. I can never seem to get the little buggers to sit still long enough for a shot this close and well done. Way to go!!! :)
Vickie Emms replied
thank you hon,,,,,very much, well I just joined a new bug group and knew I had lots of pictures so I went into my old flower folders,,,,,,and there we are! They are hard to capture I admit, but maybe it was too cool to move or something so he cooperated
