Thank you to everyone who participated in the Waterbug Blitz Photo Competition. We received a great selection of photos of a high standard across three categories and all entries can be viewed here Waterbug Photo Competition slideshow. The winners were announced on 6th December and received an Olympus Tough TG-6 camera. The camera is waterproof and has great macro-focus making it perfect for underwater waterbug photography. We encourage you to keep sharing your waterbug photos with the hastag #waterbugblitz.
