Thank you for your comments,

Sometimes when I walk through the garden I get the feeling like I'm being watched. But that's silly- right?
Have a wonderful weekend

Esta oruga de la mariposa arlequÃn es tan vistosa como la mariposa en la que se convierte, que por cierto es una mariposa nocturna pero que podemos ver volando durante el dÃa.
Aquesta eruga de la papallona arlequà és tan vistosa com la papallona en la qual es converteix, que per cert és una papallona nocturna però que podem veure volant durant el dia.
This caterpillar of the harlequin butterfly is as colorful as the butterfly it becomes, which is a nocturnal butterfly by the way but we can see it flying during the day.

***1/5/11 - Note: The setup as seen here was only really used once or twice. Although it offers quite a bit of mangification, it isn't realistically usable in the field due to it's weight - therefore this image is not representative of my usual setup.***
I've been getting a few e-mails recently about what equipment I am using to take my macrophotographs. So here's a picture of my setup.
The camera body is a Pentax *ist DL DSLR body.
The flash is an old Vivitar "Zoom Thyristor 3500" connected to the body by a cheap off-brand off camera flash cord. The flash is mounted on a bizarre old "PETRI" flash bracket with a ball head mount. The flash is diffused by a diffuser I made out of a Goldfish box, duct tape, paper towel, and clear plastic.
The body in this photo is mounted to a camera bellows, and a vintage Pentax Takumar bayonet mount 28mm f/2.8 prime lens is reversed on an old off-brand 2x teleconverter is mounted to the bellows. (The setup as shown is what I would use if I was planning on taking a picture of just the eyes of a jumping spider.)
The majority of the time I just use the 28mm mounted to the teleconverter with no bellows.
Occasionally, I will use an old SMC Pentax f/1.7 50mm prime reversed on the bellows or a 3x teleconverter in there somewhere.
