Most interesting subject of 2019

davholla · Dec 29, 2019

A bit of a risk me starting this 2 days before the end of the year - but I doubt I will find anything amazing tomorrow (although I did photograph bumblebees today).
This is my most interesting subject - not the best photo of 2019.
What is yours?
It is Gymnosoma rotundatum, the reason why it is interesting is because according to
Species Accounts « >Tachinid Recording Scheme.

It had only once been seen in Kent before this year - sadly I didn't see any paratised shield bugs, I saw it on allotments - hopefully the habitat is good for it. I only saw it once - obviously next year I will keep an eye out for it.

Nice shots,
My most interesting subject for 2019 was my 72 inch long panorama
Something I have been working up to for 5he last few years, learning from my mistakes and working around the limits of PSE 9,,, it’s will not merg 20 images and gets flakey when the file size gets up near the 2GB mark.
But it’s done, and the result ... well I am more than happy

Nice set and a rarity. It's a rarity for me to catch an insect munching on another but with this pic I also felt this assassin bug was looking up at me, which felt a little weird, when I snapped the shot. (Not the best pic, I know) He then lowered his head and went about his business.
