Maybe I shouldn't get too close...they are more photogenic from a distance.

They make such wonderful model for natural light photography, on tripod, at your own sweet time.

As awesome as they are, I once went through an infestation of these at a cottage and they now give me the willies. I'd love to catch one or 2 in a shot, but when there are 100's it was a little much.

Excellent shots, I especially love #3 and #5.

Thanks, Groan.

Wow..100s of them? Any idea what brought them together?

I don't know but for a little boy it was a very scary experience. (this happened in the 1970s in The Pas, Manitoba, Canada)
