Perhaps you know how it is... I never get happy with the photos, but that is what makes me try harder and learn more too... And there are a lot of very talented photographer here in Noah, and that is the best source of inspiration!

Tina, your photo is great, and a more colorful subject than mine:-)
Tiz
That makes more sence tom! YOu have a fantastic photo there! I feel a bit ashamed for uploading this, but I found it interesting :) I will change the ID based on your information, thank you very much!

Nice bug Tina! I think it might be a Water Measurer (Hydrometridae). Here's one I got here in Massachusetts for comparison. http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/59454406
