Sorry Bonkers, thank you, your comment wasn't there when I replied to Jacque and Irish.
Obviously I don't think it's boring but I do get some very strange looks when I tell people what I've been looking at and photographing. It's not for everyone and I have to respect others points of view.

Bring them on, Toto! I for one enjoy the education and like to see what may be crawling/flying/eating unseen in my garden.

Funny how life tends to be wrinkled and crinkled at both ends with a relatively smooth bit in the middle.
