Instead of identifying for everyone else, this time I'm asking for some wise souls to have a look :)

Well if it didn't look like there was an earthquake occurring when you took the shot, it might be slightly identifiable... ;)

Shup, smartass It was up the side of a very steep, slippery and rocky hill and it was hard to get a stable position! (muttergrumblejustnamethedamnedthing:P )

Thanks, I'll try it :) I can identify wildflowers, grasses, birds, mammals, but insects I'm not so good at!
