  1. Another beautiful set of images. I think the Brown Hawker is probably one of the hardest species to photograph. No surprise then that you didn't get a shot.

  2. silver Y (Autographa gamma)..The larvae have done a lot of damage here in Finland. Awesome photos.

  3. An absolutely wonderful set of images, John. I'm extremely envious of your Small Red-eyed Damselfly images. It's a species I have never seen and I'd happily swap a dozen perched Brown Hawkers for just one Small Red-eyed. With my very best wishes to you and Sue - - - Richard
