Hi Jack,

The camera I used was a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 that Mr Kandy bought me for my birthday last year to replace my Kodak Easyshare that i had had for yonks and only has 3,000,000megapixels whereas this one has a lot more.Here is a link to what the camera looks like..
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10EB-K Digital camera - compact - 12.1 Megapixel - 12 x optical zoom - Black#

The camera has a macro setting which you can have as normal setting or zoom so we can get right in to the detail of the subjects.Mr Kandy has the TZ9 which doesn't have the GPS facility{The GPS drains the battery}and also i think doesn't have the HD quality with the video facility{I think thats right}

Mr Kandy actually took the side photo as i was shaking so much so gave him the camera and that is what he got:D

Hope this info helps

PS there is also a TZ20 out now but not sure what they are like as we haven't looked into them but if they are anything like the TZ10 then they will be good plus it is a nice compact size for fitting inot pockets and me handbag {when i use one:D}

 

At the moment there are lots of Red admirals:





and also Commas:

 

My first thought was a Lime Hawk Moth, but i'm not near my books at the moment.

 

Lets ruin the tone with some Rat Tailed Maggots.

 

I think we ought to ban the maggot photo, as they are neither "buzzing or flying" as stated in the title of this thread.

 

:D

They are my absolute most hated creature








I can't even watch them on tv, ugh.

 

:D They will be young Skywalker, they will be...

 

Don't let them on your tv, they'd slime the buttons up:(

 

Hi Ziggy I used to get these in the compost bin when I had too much grass clipings and it would go all slimey do you know what they turn into

Not if you squish 'em or feed them to the fish.

 

My comfrey tank is definitely 'buzzin':

their parents don't look so bad;

 

Hey Spruce,

Like Scrunge has just posted, the gardeners friend, the hover fly

We might not like the look of the larvae, but we love it when the hoverflys eat the green fly

When they hover directly in front of your eyes, they are trying to hypnotise you

 

Thanks both I had a feeling hover fly , thats a happy ending

Next new subject please
