Friday My Town Shoot-out - Urban Macro

This week's subject for the Friday My Town Shoot-out is Urban Macro - chosen by the Town Blogger Team.

I have chosen to show some of the wildlife around my house and garden on the Wirral in the UK – if you are squeamish you may want to give them a miss!


Garden spider (Araneus diadematus)


Great Black Slug (Arion ater)


Bluebottle (Calliphora species)


Common Earwig ( Forficula auricularia )


House Spider (Tegenaria domestica)


Garden Snail (Helix aspera )

If you would like to see other members' shoot-outs please go to the link page.

  12. Hello Ann - I use a Sony digital camera and most of those were taken with a Sony DSC-H1 though that has now been superceded.

    The snail did his acrobatics all on his own, Doreen!
