Very nice close ups.....

 

[Robshoots]

Very nice shots. I especially like #4.

 

[davholla]

Thank you both I agree with @Robshoots I think 4 was the best - I think that species of hoverfly is possibly the easiest subject in the UK for insect photography. There are lots of them, reasonable size and often stay still.

I like the whole set!

The spider takes it for me but then I do like spiders.
