Just sat there with my camera waiting for one of the bees in charge of pumpkin pollen to drop in. He spent most of the time down there face first, but I was able to catch this shot on his way out.

Not many insects in the garden now; this beetle was very sluggish so it had no trouble posing for a portrait.

Nelson Lakes National Park, New Zealand

Found at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in east central Wisconsin. Dodge County, Wisconsin, USA.

Found on marsh boardwalk. Had to be pretty late in this indivdual's life. Allowed me to get close with the MP-E and allowed me to pick it up at one point. Fun trying to hold the rig steady with one hand while trying to take pictures of the dragonfly sitting on the other.

Notice missing right mesotarsus.

Single exposure, cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.

Tiny (1/4") Robber Fly

f/16

The fly was perched on the edge of a bin in my room. I bounced the light from a 430EX flash off the white wall behind.

This is an spider that I spotted today in my bacyard when I was taking the trash out. Never seen one like it (I'm no spider expert either). I snapped my 50 mm lens with one close up +10 dioptre and move the flash, Canon 430 EX II to camera left and down, with a diffuser, sync'd wirelessly at 1/250 f 9.0 iso 200. Everything was handheld, which made focusing hard, since the spiderweb moving back and forth non stop. Canon 7D with battery pack, pretty heavy after little while with one hand

Any one knows what kind of spider or insect this is?
