Macrobatics

Earlier in the week a cool, overcast morning provided an ideal opportunity to get close to some insects which are usually much flightier. All of the below were taken with my Nikon CoolPix 4300 in macro mode. First up is a Red Admiral from above...

...face-to-face...

... and extreme close-up!

Several of these teneral Common(?) Darters were in evidence at my local pond.

A glorious male Banded Demoiselle.

Anyone know what kind of cricket this is?
