Diesen Grashüpfer konnte ich letztens Abends bei Sonne ablichten.📷💯 Sehr schön wie die Sonne durch Ihn teils durch scheint. 😇
Green lacewings are delicate insects recognized by their translucent, intricately veined wings and bright green bodies. While the adults are easy to overlook, their larvae are formidable predators of aphids and other small arthropods, making lacewings important members of both natural ecosystems and gardens.

It's been so warm that my Blue Mason Bees are hatching. I found this one semi-active on a Daisy.
Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL mode, -1 FEC). This is a single frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Photo and Clarity in that order.
Shooting a hyperactive Soldier Beetle feeding on Poppy pollen is probably the most technically challenging macro photography that I've done to date. Lots of deleted frames. Future note to self: Do a study of the critters that feed in Poppies next year starting in May. Stay at about 2 to 2.5x but possibly change the ISO to 200 and the Fstop to 16. A little extra noise and diffraction is better than not getting enough depth or having enough stopping power.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (about 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
I used some Agave nectar to bait this Long Horned Beetle.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the stem of the flower with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.

“Convergent Evolution”
Some insects are as big as small birds.
“The hummingbird hawk-moth” is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.

The butterfly's attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.”

While I was looking for birds I happened to see this beautiful butterfly. At first I thought it was a Red Admiral but after looking through my butterfly encyclopedia I was able to correctly identify it.
A stick insect (Metriophasma diocles) in a Costa Rican rainforest doing a startle display, aka deimatic behavior, by flashing its usually-hidden, colorful wings. The idea is that suddenly revealing eye-like spots like this can scare off or distract a potential predator.
Caterpillars feed by extending their heads and then curling up as they chew. So the trick was to focus right at the edge of the leaf and wait for the critter to bring it's head up to start the next "row". I got seven frames before it figured out I was close and stopped feeding.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the stem of the plant with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.
Cool, partly cloudy, weather created the perfect conditions for slowing down this Mining Bee so I could get close to it. It would wake up, move around the dandelion, and when it paused I'd look for a shot.
Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. ISO and shutter set to expose the sky in the background.
Hemistigma is a genus of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. They are commonly known as pied-spots.

Here's another amazing macro setup from photographer Robbie Keene, using two sets of Fotodiox Nikon Macro Extension Tubes and a Fotodiox M42 to Nikon adapter to mount a microscope objective lens on his Nikon DSLR, so he could shoot stunning macro work like this!

Broad scarlet dragonfly
Crocothemis erythraea (male)
Imagine me coming back and not posting a dragonfly, madness. I found this male resting over a pond, like a ruby in the sun.
The males of this species are a deep, scarlet red, while the females are an orange-mustard colour, with blue eyes.
Taken with an EF-S 55-250mm lens on a Canon R7.
A vibrant crimson dragonfly gracefully perched on a delicate purple bloom. The striking red of the dragonfly creates a beautiful contrast against the soft violet hues of the flower, highlighting the intricate details of its wings and the serene beauty of the moment. A perfect capture of nature's artistry.
We just wanted to share a little different image with everyone!! I still used my flash and better beamer on my telephoto lens, but added 1 extension tube to make it into a macro lens!! It works great and allows you a little distance from your subject!! This also works well when you are shooting small birds at close range (shortens minimum focus distance) !! I turned up the flash a little to try to pick up more details on the wings. Well we hope you like our efforts and as always thanks for looking!!

The small honey bee native to Ireland is called the Apis mellifera mellifera, also known as the Northern dark bee or the Black Bee. It is a subspecies of the European honey bee and is particularly well-suited to the Irish climate. This honey bee is smaller and more hairy than some other honey bee types, and it is known for its resilience to the wet and cool Irish weather.

I found this ladybug on a thistle. I moved the thistle a bit so that it won't be in the shadow of the other plant. When I touched its petals the lady bug crawled on my left hand, good thing I was quick enough to press the shutter before its flight. In conclusion, this is another lucky shot. Just like this one: Seconds before take-off
The bug equivalent of a baby with birthday cake all over their face. (In an arrowleaf balsamroot flower, Montana)
I noticed this Mining Bee cleaning out debris from her nest and camped at the entrance to see if I could get a few photos. Once she decided to come out we played "BeeKaBoo" cause I accidentally scared her back down into the tunnel a few times.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (almost 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Clarity in that order.
