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

Found at Padre Island National Seashore Nature Walk. Kleberg County, Texas, USA.

Found on sand just off paved path. It was really windy this morning and this individual seemed to be having trouble flying. Possibly had a slightly damaged wing?

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

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

Oak Timberworm Beetle male (Arrhenodes minutus) on a tile floor. This is a male and was about 15mm long.

Used 70-200mm lens at 200mm with 37mm of extension tubes, because I didn't have a true macro lens.

Looks more scary than what he really is. :) The spider is tiny in real life, the photo's taken with 1:1 macro lens.
