Micro midge (prob Ceratopogonidae male)
I recently purchased a NiSi 43mm Close Up lens, which screws into the filter thread on my macro lens. The depth of field is insanely thin but it does allow you to photograph small things in more detail than normal. I couldn't really see any details with the naked eye, but this little fly(?) was only 2mm long on a photinia leaf. This was handheld, but I think the result would be better with the camera on a tripod and the image photo stacked but it was a bit too breezy for that today. I think I may need a bit more practice, but it's fun trying.
