Richie - The narrow focus range is very effective in showcasing the darter. Well done! Thad

Can clearly see that it's in the 'attack mode'.
Perfectly taken macro Richie!

Well done, a fine close up. It looks ready to pounce

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

They never miss their target. Looks like you didn't either. Great shot!

I've never been able to catch a shot of one of these - hence the name darter I guess, Kudos!

Superb close up and such detail and crispness is top notch. I never knew that's the way the look when ready to ambush

Poor thing looks all tuckered out. Great shot of this very elusive insect.
