No, I have just started my Macro days...do you suggest Rabindra Sarobar?
Ashish
Have you visited Rabindra Sarobar...?
Bunan
The place is very near to Kolkata, it was Chintamoni Kor Bird Sanctuary. I went there to spot some insects with my new Macro lens. And I got this one with several other insects. Caution : You can get several species there, but the mosquitoes will get you
