Oh my word! I clicked onto your blog and saw the photograph and thought, ‘No way! What are the chances of that!’. Certainly an incredible photo opportunity, but urgh, must have been quite horrifying initially to realise what was on your glasses!

Love the dragonfly photographs – absolutely beautiful. The one on the fern is my favourite. Also love the one of the butterfly. I’m so enjoying these new photographs of yours. Fabulous!

Hoe did that stick insect arrive, did it jump or did it drop? I normally don't mind hard bugs, just the squishy ones but I don't think I would have been too happy about something that size landing on my face . I like the dragonfly photos and I find the middle picture the most striking. A tip for photographing dragonflies - they are very terratorial and usually patrol a fixed route often stopping at the same place for a rest. If you watch one for a while you may be able to predict where it is going to stop. They have very good vision but are pretty fearless which makes them easier to photograph. Hi Ruta, this flew into my face as I was walking along. It was so gross I can't tell you! I've tried tracking the dragon flies but no luck yet. I'll keep trying. JT
