At the same time as taking the eye shots, I also photographed this selection of the smaller creepy crawlies.

Again all on the Canon 760D / MPE-65mm / Canon 270ex Flash combination.

First up an adult Froghopper – these bugs initially live in the Cuckoo spit you see around in early summer – before emerging like these.
