I did a few shots this weekend in the garden using the Nikon D600, Nikkor vr 105 and 1.7x converter

Taken with Canons MPe-65 Macro Lens, MT24ex Twin Flash, 550D and Handheld.

Ladybird with wing extended

Shropshire UK

size 0.7mm

I really need to go on walks early in the morning, I saw several of these clearwing moths all over the place. I'm kind of annoyed that a) the focus in this pic isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be, and b) I had this guy id'ed before I went on vacation last week, but I didn't bookmark the link. Now I have to id him again. :p
