Not very easy to get sharp pics of them flying.

Thank you, yes I had to invest a few hours and some hundred images in C mode but with digital possible. It was constantly in movement.

Holy Flying Bug! Tremendous shot! These guys don't fly much in a straight line for easy focusing either. They fly nervously as if tiny little wind currents buffet them about. Look at the color detail in this image. Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, I needed a lot of patience and - thank you digital - maybe 100 shots in C mode. A few were really keepers.
