T.Y. Henk.. Glad you commented..:)
Lois Bryan
yeah, I think the bug bites come with the territory … problem is, if you spray yourself with a repellent, none of the bugs you’re trying to photograph will land anywhere near ya!!! Now, as to ants, well, that’s another whole can of worms. Or ants.

Yuri Lev
It’s a very good use of scale and focus. You’re using focus brilliantly. To much sharpness and/or focus in an image can sometimes be distracting.
LjMaxx replied
Thanks Y.. My flower garden behind is the bkgrd color.. My yard is sprouting alot of shrooms this year from the endless rain we have had this year in New England.. Cool.. Give my neighbors some more to talk about when they see me crawling around on my stomach in the yard.. Hahaha.. Later~
