I find this endearing little critters very difficult to photograph as they are always on the move, but this kind character decided to settle on a grass seed-head in the sunshine for a few moments, enabling me to grab a couple of captures before he flew off.

I am constantly amazed at your ability to find beasties I have never seen before and to get such great pics of them. These are no exception, brilliant stuff Carol.

your TZ7 is only one up on my TZ6 and your images are amazing Carol, the detail outstanding - you must be very pleased with your purchase
A fluffy thing on long legs. What a cutie.
I like no 2 for the good side view, really nice.
Hope they don't sting like Disney cartoon show. Lovely details esp. the rainbow on the wings .
V1 in particular is excellent, and among your best. Focus, exposure and composition spot on.

2 beauties
What long legs
and love the wing in V1
You never fail to amaze us with your wonderful close-ups, Carol, and they seem to be getting better and better all the time

Two terrific detailed close ups of the blonde pinochio of the insect world, I like the irridescence of its wings. I notice that the Big O has been quiet today, no doubt he's been out and about on the Somerset Levels trying to capture something extraordinary for us to view!
Two wonderfully detailed close ups Carol. I'm busy hunting Panish bugs as we speak (well actually not now, in the free wifi bar) but they are somewhat elusive at the moment, apart from the honey bees on the sage and they are so quick I doubt if I have a half decent shot - yet!
Fine detail Carol - especially his hairy legs. I thought of you today when I was having my afternoon tea outside; there were quite a lot of small bees buzzing around. I would never have been able to photograph them as they were so busy... Lovely creatures to watch and marvel at though.
