New MFPIAC 28 Challenge - Theme: INSECTS

May 5th, 2015
I was overwhelmed by the response to my Green Collage... thank you so much! I have never hosted a theme challenge before, so I hope I get it right.

CHALLENGE CRITERIA:
Collage should consist of 6 images (images don't have to be taken during the time frame of the challenge) with your interpretation of the theme INSECTS.

I've seen lots of photos of great bees, butterflies, caterpillars, spiders, etc, on many projects, so I hope there will be lots of participation! Please tag your collage with MFPIAC28. You may also post your collage here on this thread to inspire others.

The theme challenge will begin today, May 5th, and end on May 15th.

Entries may be viewed at http://365project.org/tags/mfpiac28

I think insects are hibernating just now that is is Autumn so these are taken quite a while ago. Congrats on the winning the green challenge.

@kiwinanna Thanks for participating! Although it is spring where I live, all the photos in the sample collage are old... lack of time, and I no longer have a good macro lens... sigh... I have never managed to photograph a dragonfly!

These photos have been taken over a number of years, it was hard to choose. Taking photos of insects sparked an interest in entomology, and now I have left a career in Geophysics to do a PhD with thesis in Agricultural Entomology. So beware - photography can take you places you never expected. Go to my 365 project (Dec) to get see the names for these insects.
