Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand

Used Nikon 18-105.

Este pobre bicho llevaba dos días atrapado en mi salón, aun con la ventana abierta. Hoy, cual pérfida Eva, lo tenté con una manzana y lo pude liberar (y alimentar!). Aquí se relame los labios después del banquete.

Por cierto, estaba tan agradecido que posó como la mejor supermodelo. Y eso es un problema: ¡¡tengo unas 40 fotos que me gustan y no sabía ni por cuál empezar!!

Suite de la saga des Fourmis n° 3 ...un petit clin d'oeil à Bernard Werber!

Béziers Hérault 07/11

Nikon D200

Cet été, pendant les vacances, les fourmis nous taquinaient un peu sur la terrasse quand nous mangions. Mais elles ont droit de vivre!!! Alors, nous laissions une tranche de melon, et je me suis régalé à les prendre en photo...un monde extraordinaire!

J'ai fait une petite série où je vous en présenterai une photo de ces travailleuses tous les 2 jours!

Can someone identify this insect?

Pont d'Espagne Hautes-Pyrénées 08/05

Nikon D70

1 to 1 with the female banded demoiselle.

A few more shots using my D5100 and Nikkor 105 micro. Thinking i might upgrade my D5100 soon to the D5300 as light weight back up to my D7100. Still my old D5100 isnt bad :-)

This mosquito after drinking pint of my blood, sat on the TV screen making herself at home, slowly excreting excess water from her meal...

ce matin une éclosion ! dans mon jardin.

A little visitor on my raspberry bushes..

Identified as Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata.

The hardest aspect of shooting mating ladybugs is not laughing when the male wiggles his backside -gonna have to work out the lighting so I can film it...

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

Technique: I'm holding on to the leaf they are on with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep everything steady. Then I went looking for an angle that would let me get as much in focus as possible -both of their leading eyes have to be in focus.
