 Went on a 3 hour walk through a nature trail in between storms. Had little luck the first 1.5 hours, then I stumbled upon these 2 robberflys, that were either 1) mating 2) fighting
I'm assuming they were fighting, and cleary the one pinned against the tree was losing, as the other one was carrying it around.

I don't think the DoF/Focus is where I wanted it, but I left my monopod at home (realized is once I got where I was going). I'm HOPING for a 6+, but I know there will be tons of amazing shots here, and I'm not grouping mine into that category...I'd be stoked with a new personal top 5 image which needs over a 6.2403.
