Scorpionfly during a break

Today three flying insects during a break...

Whole universe in one eye

New wave of Insects

There was a lot of good weather several days ago, so I took my camera on a little trip into the... grass. Some of the insects I found are below.
Right know I consider buying Olympus E-520 but am still not sure. DSLR and the glass for it costs much and sometimes I think Fuji s6500fd (known also as s6000fd) and Raynox DCR-250 is enough for me. But... you know. Sometimes I have to fight the noise with Neat Image (by the way - it works just fine on Linux) or Greycstoration (GIMP plugin) even at ISO 100 and it's time consuming. With E-520 the quality of the photos would - I bet - greately improve.
Well, but - here are the photos.

Well, the temperature is rising and there is more and more insects on the loose. Below are some of the first bug pictures I took this year.
