Exceptional subject detail and nice catchlight in the eye, Howard. Don't see many lacewings up close and personal like this. Nicely composed and captured.

Howard, it's nice to see the fine details in the wing. My favorite part is the glowing eye pupil. Well done.

That's one amazing eye and neat detail in the wings, Howard. The background fits nicely with the apple as well. Guess I'll have to try rotten apples next summer.

Hi everyone & thank you for commenting
Mark - I used a yellow dinner plate to set the rotting apples on, it helped to set the background 'mood'.. I held off on the music & candles
