Focus is a bit off
But, the sequence of images and the depicted action was amazing to see. :o) I may be a critical @$#@#$@#@, but I can appreciate the action too. :o) And yes, I truly grinned the whole time I wrote this as I love the little critters and watching them and you saved me many hours (if not years :o) here.
all the best,
Sean (who knows content can matter more than technique, but has yet to convince himself of that on a regular basis ;o)

You found the insects and photographed them so that I did not have to do it while still getting to enjoy seeing the action.
