      Thanks! I saw this one while he was running through some bushes at some distance from me. I would have liked to get closer to him but this was the only picture I could make before he disappeared again underneath some bushes. Posted 13 years ago

        This one looks pretty close to me, but as a macro enthusiast I think I know what you mean :) Posted 13 years ago
