Bug Hunter

One of the most rewarding activities for me and the kids at FoN's summer camps is bug hunting with our cameras. Of course they like to actually catch the critters with their nets but I like to show them how to sneak up on them to get a good shot.

So here are a few of my favs this summer. (click to enlarge)
