...AFAIK. As I was about to photograph this cranefly, I noticed the parasite on its abdomen. I managed to get this image and was about to focus more closely when the cranefly flew off into a neighbour's garden. You win some and you lose some. Such is life.

Hello David.
Interesting image and good example of the parasite attached to the cranefly.
But pictotial wise I'm finding this one hard as the Green is so strong and well detailed that I find my self looking at it more than the cranefly.
I'm liking your closeup work but this one as not quite worked for me.
