Wow. Such clarity. I don't know how you managed that at f/4, but it looks great. Tough looking critter.

Aug 18, 2020 18:38 | #4684 This ambush bug must have been young due to his size. It's prey, a fly, was 4 times it's size! The second shot must have been some type of hatching. Believe they are milkweed beetles.  Image hosted by forum (1059569) © Pigpen101 [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

Pretty good pest control for a garden, but not good if you want a lot of caterpillars in your yard. Interesting - thanks for the information.

Cool info. What isle of the grocery store can I find that protein ball?

No problem, just sneak out to the cluster of milkweed covered in life only 30 seconds from my front door. The eyes aren't really in focus but wanted to show the color, almost bronze. Can't remember seeing such a variety of ladybugs. The second one is another shot with those things on it's back. Also seeing this a lot. Are these mites? I'm guessing it's not something good? This an invasive lady beetle. You can tell by the 'M' on the back of the head. They can bite the h##l out of you. Lady bugs are harmless. Dan

Really? Had no idea these were not from around here. "Georgia lake country"? Lake Acworth, Allatoona Lake?

RDWP Goldmember More info | That adapter was only $17 Canadian (inc shipping) - metal, and a good fit, with a lock setting for the aperture ring. I've also tried it on a 200mm FD prime - focuses nicely between ~3 and 15 ft. ... and, from the good old days, Canon F-1n, FTb, Mamiya 645 (m1000s), etc. -- Rob
