Wow, they are beautiful in macro, thanks John.
ReplyDeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteThese are splendid macro!!! All more beautiful than the others! Gorgeous and well done!
Great technique shown here, the images where you have kept the lens paralell to the subject are top quality. Taken on your visit to England I guess!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey you did include a Moth, that's not a Caddisfly that's Nemophora degeerella! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bennyboy,thanks Mate.
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognise the Moth,because it falls into the Micro types.
You've made my day,thanks.
John.
Thanks Bob,Chris.
ReplyDeleteYes Bobbster,one of my many trips to England,more planned next week.
Thank you for your comments.
John.
Superb, puts mine to shame. Hope to see you out sometime.

Incredible macro shots. Stand up and take a bow!! I was particularly interested in the ladybug larva. I've seen them before and had no clue. I have not concentrated my studies on insects much, and can see I have a lot to learn! And I can start right here on your blog.
ReplyDeleteSuper shots! Can I ask what lens you used please? I'm pretty sure the hoverfly is Dasysyrphus albostriatus.
ReplyDeleteStunning shots! Each one so clear and sharp - loaded with detail. Great work.
ReplyDeleteGreat macro shots again John. Where do you find all these creepies?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a Bloody-nosed Beetle: http://www.fungalpunknature.co.uk/GenInsects/BloodyNosedBeetle.jpg

AMAZING! I love seeing all these creatures in such fine detail. Great shots, as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, nice to hear from our overseas followers.
ReplyDeleteAndy, Think you're right about the Hoverfly.Believe it or not I just use a compact digital set to super-fine macro.
Trevor,They are everywhere,and some so small you can hardly see them ,start in the garden.
Hayley, think you're right about the Beetle. Thanks for the link, have added it to our favourites. Mum x
Sam and Lisa, and all the local birders, hope to catch up with you soon. Sue and John
Those first 4 photos are beyond beautiful! You did a fantastic job of capturing the colors, the detail, the surprizing beauty, and the outright bizarreness of the insect world.
ReplyDeleteFabulous set of Macro's John you always come up with the goodies, on the last one I also think the Bloody Nosed Beetle is closest in one of my books.
ReplyDeleteHope top bump imto you soon Monts.
Wonderful macro series! I really like the second shot of the snipe fly, although they are all excellent.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos John, and I especially like the Snipe and Scorpion flies. I reckon the cool Snipe is wearing Ray Ban Aviators..
ReplyDeleteAlways love the eyes of insects and you have some great images. The intricacy is always astounding to me and how they each have their own way in nature that works according to plan~
ReplyDeleteStunning macro shots. Superb collection.
ReplyDeletenice macro shot. Love it
