what a piece of eyes!
Around here they are also called March flies, because they usually appear in spring, and I suppose European settlers carried that name there. Maybe you should call them September flies 😀

Beetle orgy

I remember the first Dragonfly I saw back when I first had my little FZ300 was one of these Graphic Flutterers. It was also the first half decent in flight shot I managed after many attempts (I just went back and dug it out - it's not much). But the passion was born.
The Graphic Flutterers are mostly around fields while I am generally looking for those around water now.
So I was surprised this week to see a couple of them again...I normally take a few perched shots if I think they may turn out ok, but I don't keep many. I never saw the various muted colours of this one in the vf so was kinda surprised by it.

One of the disadvantages of my camera in macro mode is that if I want a good magnification, I have to shoot with very wide-angle zoom positions that force me to get very close to the subjects, which usually escape. One of the advantages is that, when they don't flee, you have the pleasure and excitement of shooting a few centimeters away from specimens like this...

Something a little different...

I don't think I can get closer than 2 meters. Lucky I have a long tele...
