Is this thrip

I read with interest the posting on digital cameras, these guys are good aren't they. I have been wanting to learn how to post a picture with my message so this morning I looked in the 'help' section and this is my first try at it.
First of all my question is, is this thrip?
Next is an observation. I have a fairly cheap Olympus digital camera which has macro but I found it very hard to focus on small things (the camera wanted to focus on things in the background), then I found that if I hold my hand or a piece of white paper directly behind the object the focus is better. Maybe good if you cant afford Antishake.
Next I'm going to learn how to put the picture in the body of the message, wish me luck.

No it is not thrip they are barely visible to the eye. Maybe it is a young cockroach ????
If you have your camera set to macro it should only take a pic of that flower or insect.
Do not get to close with your camera and try not to move too much when taking a macro shot.
Good luck with your next pic if you cannot do it email me and I will send you instructions.
As you have to have your pics on a site on the Internet before you can post them here.
I have mine on Photobucket so download the free program at www.photobucket.com
If you want to put your Pic's here like my Julia's Rose. Cheers..MM.

Hiya Leyland-definitely not thrip-have no idea what though.
Congratulations on posting your first pic too-we expect to see many more. :)
Misty Morn-that is a stunning pic of Julia's Rose-I've never seen her shown so well.

Thank you Sandie I did not think I would ever get a good pic of it
As it is the only bud I managed to get that has not been eaten by any insects.
Cheers..MM. |

| I've put a page up on our website, but for some reason it hasn't jumped up yet. Will give a link when it surfaces. |

Oh great Misty, another rose to add to my buy and try list, just what I needed.Are you happy with Julias performance there.We share the same climate and I've been eyeing her off for a while now anyway....I'm a coffee/chocolate fan.....ie both types.
Looking forward to a successful posting of your giant rose mosquito Leyland.I'm a technophobic too so don't worry.Misty and Marion are good teachers.Thanks again guys.

Hi thrip,
Heres the picture of the giant rose mossie. But as someone suggested it may be a katydid (grasshopper family) if you look closely you can see the two long back legs.

It was lozza who suggested katydid. I did some research on the net and what an interesting bug.

| Yeah, and they are very passive. Just reach forward with the Felcos and snip them around the waist. They don't seem to mind a bit. No need to cut completely in half, just snip and drop. As an aside, yours is a junior, adults are larger, and plumper. If you ever see a bloom looking like yours, look around amongst the foliage and you'll find the culprit awaiting his fate. |
