If there’s one thing I always wanted to see more of over breakfast, it’s extreme close-up photographs of dew-covered insects. And thanks to Alert Underground Reader Axel, that’s just what the Undergrounders are getting:
Too close? Too early? Sorry.
You’ll find more pics at the UK Daily Mail site, all of which were taken by a 37 year-old Polish photographer named Miroslaw Swietek – who gets up at 3 a.m. in the morning to catch bugs while they’re immobile.
And yes, there’s not an Undergrounder out there who isn’t right now wondering what an October Caddis/Green Drake/Blue Winged Olive looks like when covered in dew.
To find out, I guess you just have to get up at 3 a.m.
And take great macro photographs.
And find one of the things in the dark.
Simple, really.
See you behind the camera, Tom Chandler.
love it. 3am, not so much.

This simply proves the old saw is true: The early bird gets the dew-covered insect.

If I’m getting up at 3am, I think I’d opt to hunt Moose or Deer, not bugs. Of course, if I was even half as talented with a camera I could probably see the perks in adding another 15 cups of coffee to my day!

Yeah, but you can photograph and then eat bugs without expending expensive ammunition, or the need to field dress and haul…
