cool photos, really detailed.

how on earth did you get that close to the fly? you got super zoom or you move like a nija :fear: lol

read somewhere that earwigs are the best parents in the animal world.

personaly earwigs to me are the things of nightmares, they freak me right out.

cheers - yes, I do move like a ninja!

John,

The Uploader has a dropdown box which allows you to specify the resize size. The default is 640, but there is also an 800 option.

Nice shots by the way :)

if anyone knows what these are (other than the ladybirds and greenbottle fly) I'd love to know as I don't have an ID book handy.

Wow - they are phenomenal pics - actually lost for words that adequately describe the quality of these, but the detail, the colour and the composition is incredible.

gosh - thanks. I'd still love to know what that hairy caterpillar will grow into!

EDIT: now managed to ID it and believe it is a Rusty Tussock Moth larvae.
