Very nice Ian - judging by the bent rear wing it could have been newly emerged and drying out.

cracking shot shame about the damaged wing.

So the old "superglue on a flower" trick worked well then Ian?

A great capture.

Great shot.

Thanks all

David: you are right it could well be drying out as it was there for ages, both Maggie and I spent time with it.

John: Yes this was an 8 shot stack

First time in anger as it were.

Works really quite well for me, any nits have been covered for me.

Love the colours in this - both the Emerald and the BG. Great detail too.
