  A perfect macro of a very nice specimen. Insects clean themselves as cats and they are very agile in doing so. Nothing should stend in the way for a smooth flight.
  
  As you know the species, you can identify it from the yellow Identify species icon next to the photo. This will add more information about the species and link it to your previous photos.
  
  To enter the contest however you have to reply to this forum post

    Hi Fergy, sorry if I seem so dim but I can't seem to be able to link this post to the contest. Can you help please. I guess I'm a better photographer than a subscriber, sorry. M :o(
