    Well I did try to get a photograph of some wasps today but my courage failed me. :oops: They were all over the plums that had been blown from the tree onto the ground. They were intent on feeding but became rather angry when I tried to get near them to take a picture. Guess who retreated first....yep ME!! :rolleyes:

    Love the shot of the chickadee - much more to my taste. :stew2:

    Yes I agree, wasps etc aren't easy. I was lucky, an editor saw my insect site, not the Nature site here. She phoned me and we talked for 45 minutes. Now when they need a bug for their monthly column, they ask me if I have some. Getting paid makes the picture taking a little easier.

    OK I've got your method sussed at last - you've got magic fingers!!! :p If I tried to coax moths in my garden then they'd just flutter off never to be seen again. :(

    I was trying to coax it right onto my hand but it wouldn't do it.
