Just down the street... - 10-10-2010, 07:30 PM


is another vacant tract where the late season flora flourishes. (Nice turn of phrase, but I digress) Found a few flying and/or crawling things.

#1 Honeybee on ragweed...guess it doesn't affect them, thank goodness

#2 Unknown moth

#3 Mating weevils trying to beat a hasty retreat from the camera

Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Jim. The Canon experiment is over. Nothing against Canon and the MP-E is a wonderful lens. I just don't find myself needing to shoot beyond 2X as much as I thought I might. The camera and lights are gone and the lens is spoken for.

I was just thinking about it and thought I'd ask...Heck I don't feel the need to work at 1:1 very often so you know I'll never own one
