Hod Hill
Following Saturdays visit to Stoborough Heath, a further bug quest was taken on a walk around Hod Hill, Stourpaine in Dorset
Again not much about in terms of bugs, but did come across a colourful fly, a white coloured violet flower (which I await identification on) and an odd looking caterpillar on some nettles. Oh and the path along the River Stour was really muddy!
Here’s the best of the days shots…all on 50D Canon Camera.
Fly (maybe wasp ?) taken on doc leaf, using MPE-65mm about 1.5x. Hand held with flash.
A white coloured Violet flower. Not yet identified the species. 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens at F5. Natural Light.
An odd caterpillar on some nettles. Seemed to have its head welded onto the leaf. This on is a stack of 4 shots from the MPE-65mm at F9. Combined together in Combine ZP.
