I am not sure what those tubes are hanging off her face...looks like she is vacuuming off the diving board! i am thinking this is a bit more than i need to know about what a ladybug face looks like!

Off I went to the Camera shop again. I have a new toy. It is a macro tube. You pay a silly amount of money for a hollow tube and then you add that to the lens and the yoghurt carton and voila we can see the bee’s tongue lapping at the pond water through a hole in the lily pad. I am having so much fun with these insects. My friend Val loaned me a special ring flash that you add to the end of your lens so that it all becomes even better. BUT you guessed it I prefer the yoghurt carton for diffusing the light. The wireless flash was just too flashy. Tomorrow I am seriously going to turn over EVERY rock in the garden.

These are the only bugs I see these days so I´m getting a lot of practice getting shots of them. This is a 4 shot stack. Very strange this year, usually see lots of springtails at this time, and I have´nt seen one for ages.
