Fly by NIght ... well, twilight!

I normally post these straight to Facebook rather than here but, what the heck, here goes. If you don't like flies, maybe this will turn your stomach.

I am using a macro lens with my camera to take photos of insects on flowers and shrubs and things. I then crop the photos to bring out the features ...

and here's a colony of greenflies with other insects on a rose bud

Also on a rose bud

There you are: I love this macro lens ... it's 1:3.5 and would love a 1:1 lens but worry about their price. Also, I haven't seen one yet!

If you know the proper names of these insects, why not let me know? Just post a comment here.
