      Thanks! It sat under my parents porch. Of course I put it back in the garden after the photos. Posted 7 years ago

      I am fine, thanks. Good to see junledragon is still alive and kicking.
      I am still doing macro photography, but am too lazy to search for the names of al the insects.
      Intentions are to spend some more time searching names and post more to jungledragon again.

        That is a plan that sounds like music to my ears and great to hear you're still doing macro photography. Perhaps some of us can help with the identifications so don't hold back if you want to post. Posted 7 years ago
