Welcome to the WildlifeMacro blog. My name is Alex McCarthy and this blog combines my passion for wildlife and macro photography.

Although the focus of WildlifeMacro blog is on insects and insect photography, I will often stray towards other photography – nature conservation and – related topics. I hope you enjoy my musings and please don’t hesitate to ask me questions.

Green Lacewing – Chrysopa peria
Lacewings are often called golden-eyed because of the brilliant golden or brassy shine from their eyes.
