How the hell do you get so close to these to take these pictures? Are you some kind of fucking insect whisperer.....every time I so much as look at one of these buggers they fly away.
On a more serious note, another cracking picture from you.

Thank soul - stealth m8, and chase the buggers from leaf to leaf and don't give up until you get one or two fired off.

I can see you you must be liking the 5D mate.. and who wouldn't .. great shots, as always..

I think my local insects have passed the word around to avoid my garden because some bumbling
old git keeps creeping up on them when they are trying to relax LOL

It's a great camera, had one not long ago, but I prefer cropped sensors -- the 70D is a lot lighter, easier to handle and gives great results too.
