Winning this week were these photos of a caterpillar. I chose this over all the pictures this week because the level of detail in the pictures is stunning, right down to the tiny hair fibres and colour vibrance, that is why this was my winning entry.

This photo caught my eye again for its stunning level of detail, every part of this wasp can be seen in a level of detail you won't see when they are buzzing around you annoying you.

When I looked through all the entries this photo caught my eye as something that is rarely seen and in amazing detail right down to the eyes of the insect and catching it mid flight as it landed showed some great photography, patience and skill.
