Open your eyes and you will see... ~ 11th June 2016 ~
Yesterday morning my parents and I went on a long dog walk around our local nature reserve. As usual, I took my binoculars, but I also decided to take my camera with a macro lens on it.
Recently I have been getting really interested in insects/plants etc and so I decided that I would slow things down and try to see the smaller things on our walk that I would usually miss! And I was not disappointed at all - I saw a huge array of wildlife and below are a selection of the 800+ photos that I took on our 2.5 hour walk.
I don't have an ID for all of the creatures so if you can help, please comment below or message me - it would be greatly appreciated!

Wow, great photos! I can't help much with the identifications but you need to look at the male's genital capsule to identify scorpion flies. Yours looks like a female and is in the wrong position anyway.
