Wow! Never seen thought these can be so colourful, it must have been a very difficult shot. Great work David.

Actually Raj its easier in the overcast then on sunny days.They reflect light from there shine that sometimes the glare off them is intense.

I know bill, they really do a number on the food supply.

Thanks for the info on the shot, DarkShadow--I always though they would be always shiny even in cloudy days. I am still getting my shiny bug shoot right. I think it is dead already. I have to find another one I can torture in the fridge. With birds you have to be real quick or you blink and they are gone. With bugs, pick them up and put them in the fridge for a while and they slow down to pose for you...

LOL. Well you win for bravery in my book. Bees don't bother me and had them land on me before. Spiders ,Crickets and Especially centipedes for get about it, they freak me out big time. I rather be in a pit with rattles snakes.
