I found this through Slashdot; an insect discovery through someone's photostream.

"Scientists discover beautiful new insect species after stumbling upon photos on Flickr"

That's like a macro shooter's dream ;)


Edit: kind of disappointing that they don't direct-link to the photographer, but at least he's mentioned a bunch of times.


Some of my lenses focus beyond infinity...!

Much kudos to you kurt! Our collective hat off to you!

Did yoy know that you had discovered a new type of lacewing when you captured it? I mean do you come from entymology or any field close to that?

No matter....what an honor!
