The babies are all huddled together, but Mum is still keeping a careful watch over them  Awesome. Beautiful to see.

nardes Goldmember More info Post edited over 3 years ago by nardes. | May 05, 2020 16:54 | #3392 Macroramphosis wrote in post #19058007 Can I ask what your focal distance is from these wasps with your set-up? I'm pretty much at the closest focus distance, which puts the front lens element some 30 cms (12 ins) from the Wasps.

I think the MFD is 38 cms which is to the sensor. Cheers Dennis Thanks fpr that info, Dennis...

Terrycanon Cream of the Crop  More info Post edited over 3 years ago by Terrycanon. | May 08, 2020 05:57 | #3398 Would have loved to have had my macro lens with me when I spotted these, but I only had my new 16-35L on the 5DIV. Not too unhappy with the results, even though they are big crops and the light was poor. I already really like the 16-35L. Must be a tough life being a female beetle! I'm sure Archibald will be able to ID them for me.  Image hosted by forum (1043331) © Terrycanon [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

I'm sure Archibald will be able to ID them for me. Good shots under challenging circumstances! Looks like quite the party going on there. As for ID, I'm not good at that, but I'm guessing genus Altica, like the one I posted earlier, but different species. Canon R5 and R7, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100, Pentax Spotmatic F
