Visited the father-in-laws today, they have a castor-oil plant. Wow, was that thing covered in bugs! Shield Bugs, Bees, Wasps, Ladybirds.

Brilliant both sets love the wasps ones they are always on the move. Shield bug is great.

Maybe a little exposure boost needed on #2 / #7.

Lovely shots Carl - the japonicas and Ivy's this time of year are like magnets.

CheerS Bryn, Paul. Told the missus I want those plants in our garden. Shame I only took a 8th card could have filled up a 3 2gb no problem
