FracturedRabbit Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Fantastic shot FR , I really don't know how you get these shots , Man I am struggling so much to nail it , I have viewed some of the photos you have taken over the time and were kind enough to post on TVF for those to view , I am still mind-boggled as to how you nail these ! and now my screen is blown out as well , I admire your ability and those that have the ability as well .... Congratulations FR , Great Stuff ! Thanks Goompa. The answer is, usually, manual focus and a tripod. Generate as much depth as field as you can, using a flash can help with this. And be prepared to throw away at least 9 out of every 10! Keep at it, you will crack it! You have some good shots already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousehound Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 One of the "Wooly" moths most likely in the Hepialidae group. Some of the larva of this family burrow down to reach and feed on the roots of shrubs. Little white hairy thing, presumably a moth not a butterfly. hairy.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mousehound Posted December 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2014 A type of Assassin Bug. They sap their prey and suck out their juices whilst they are alive - a bit like the tax man! I attach a pic taken in Perth WA in my back garden.

Goompa Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Certainly an odd looking critter , I cannot help there Jack . Maybe Rob can help out on this , he loves his bugs In all honesty I have no idea , perhaps if you were to display the image on the insect forum on G+ they can help .
