What is this ?

Competition
Monday 22nd March

At this week’s meeting we had a “What is this” competition. Members were asked to bring along up to three pictures depicting close-ups of household objects which had been closely cropped or shot using macro for other members to try and identify.
It was a fun night with lots of interesting photos ranging from vacuum cleaner attachments to ladybird nests.
Eventually only a handful of pictures were left that could not be identified and we were given ten questions to work out what they were.
By the end of the evening only two photos could not be identified which were deemed the winners, they were a pair of nail clippers by Tony and loudspeakers by Richard.
Well done to them.
Here are a few pictures from the night. Can tell what they are?
