Hi Tim,

This one is wel worth the itching feelin'...

I just love these Banded Damsels as they are some of the finest we have in Europe..

Well done!

Hope the itching has died down now!!

Another super capture Tim - they are awesome beasties aren't they

You'll be okay with the nettle stings matey - it's when your crutch is full of Banded Demoiselles you'll need to start worrying

Without the spiders thread to the stem lower left i would have prefered it without the stem but by having the thread joining it, it becomes an integral part of the image-oh and the damsels a beauty as well

Nice one Tim, they certainly like hanging around in the nettles....

Beautiful detail and colors.
The spiders string is part of the comp.
Perfect post Tim.

A good old scratch {preferably in private} should sort the problem Tim, but a shot worth going through the pain barrier for!!

Nicely done
