best to catch them when they are newly emerged and still drying off - then they sit there motionless for hours and allow you to get as close as you like...

Nice photo Bish. I'd just wandered into the garden as it was that lovely late afternoon light and shadows time. Just happened to notice it and grabbed my phone. I wish I'd had a proper camera to hand as I find it harder to take pictures on a screen like that rather than a proper viewfinder.

Possibly, but then a very small one. And clearly a vegetarian.
