Insects of Vouraikos Gorge

This was the fifth time I visited the Vouraikos Gorge.  So instead of capturing the scenery once again I thought it would be better off shooting the little critters that inhabit the place. The 180mm Tamron was an excellent companion since it allowed me to keep a relative distance from my subjects while taking the shot and thus not scare them off. The flash was quite handy as it was rather dark in the gorge.  I kept the ISO at 100 and varied the apperture from f/8 to f/11  - which is the sweet spot of this lens.
