So it won't be me that comes to lock you up!<br /><br />I must confess to spending time trying to sort out what your mystery larva whas when you first showed it. Although I'd thought about it being a 'first-stage' specimen, it never occurred to me that it might turn out to be the wonderful feisty creature that a Puss Moth caterpillar is. If you can follow it right through to moth stage you're in for a treat!<br /><br />Enjoying your macro work still - but what happened to your themed approach to blogging !! ;-}<br /><br />Best wishes - - - - - Richard<br /><br />Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-46819065040903456262015-07-13T16:41:36.555+01:002015-07-13T16:41:36.555+01:00Thank you Linda.

I much prefer folk to say why is half that insect blurry? I can then explain how hard I try to get a living fly that doesn't speak much English parallel to the sensor. You must have the same problem with Jed Bush and Donald Trump or Donald Fart as he is known here. He blows hot air and talks from his nether regions.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-61795278874223684262015-07-12T22:37:26.443+01:002015-07-12T22:37:26.443+01:00Wonderful to see...

It will change again then give up for the winter and hide as a pupatier or something like that. Then it will become a Puss Moth next year and flap about being annoying while I try to read a book.

Like driving on a mountain side at a hundred miles an hour. These young machine drivers don't hang around but rowing hay is still quicker than baling I finished first. I had to cause he can't bale till I've rowed the hay up. It's been a long day and I put the wrong date on my mosaick or stick together. <br />The hen was buried with the help of a little backhoe digger. I quite enjoy modern farming but I still must have walked miles today. The Proclaimers knew something I didn't when I came to Auchtermuchty. Once out of the town it's all up hill and down hill. They didn't walk 500 miles but it just seems like it.<br />I ought to buy a GOPRO camera then I could have made a post out of today.

If it blows shut then I can hear them calling me to open it. If I want an early night most of them will go to bed if I call "Chuck, chuck, chuck come on bedtime girls." I usually have a couple to catch and bundle in but even the awkward ones crouch down to be picked up. They are great companions even if food motivates their friendship.<br />I hope nobody hears me.....I might get locked up.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-86535681883708323102015-07-12T15:43:33.908+01:002015-07-12T15:43:33.908+01:00Douglas, they are old layers and tough as boots. I...Douglas, they are old layers and tough as boots. I did think of boiling it up for the dogs but it would have stunk the truck out. These hens roam about the place and can fly so not the sort of chicken I'm capable of chewing. Plus they need killing and bleeding out for the pot.<br />Most flies bar the little black storm flies are very attractive close up. I like the MP-E lens but working distance is only an inch or so and they get frightened. Oddly the strobes don't seem to worry them.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
