Pretty cool - he uses a laser to detect and take a capture of flying insects.
Great DIY
(this is page 10, showing the final setup, can read from page 1 to see the progression)

Crikey!
What surprises me is that he hasn't got a robot that roams the garden for him and snaps insects...
That bee (wasp?) shot is something, though...
Cheers

Great stuff.

Brilliant, effective, inspiring. But doesn't he look a bit of a goose?

Maybe not retired, but a lot of spare time on his hands!
If he doesn't take any insect macros, maybe he'll turn up a buried treasure (surely it doubles as a metal detector
)
