GUARDIAN Camera Club members have been getting up close with insects for the latest photo challenge.
There were plenty of butterflies and bees, damselflies and dragonflies.
The Camera Club is a supportive and friendly group of amateur and professional photographers and as well as submitting photos taken recently, members also take part in regular themed challenges like sunrises and sunsets, roads and streets, and symmetry.
