You are right, it takes patience. It should go faster with experience, though. Canon R5 and R7, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100, Pentax Spotmatic F

He looks kind of tangled up with the plant.  Archibald wrote in post #18713160 He looks a bit off balance, legs not really organized. Mike says it well... tangled up with the plant. Not your fault, though! This may be to-MAY-to:to-MAH-to...............I was thinking it was confusing.........too much going on.

Spiders are also arachnids, but are not opiliones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones It is interesting but confusing and I keep losing track of the relationships. These are all arthropods (with jointed legs). This huge phylum includes scorpions, centipedes, lobsters, crabs, and of course spiders and insects. And harvestmen. If it has one main body segment, then it is a harvestman. If it has two main body segments, it is a spider. If it has three main body segments, it is an insect. Lots of exceptions, of course. Thank you for the explanations Archibald. It definitely sounds complicated to keep it all straight. LD, or Mike

Sep 23, 2018 11:01 | #1016 Damselflies are such beautiful, graceful creatures. Yet there can be a sameness to photos of them. Here are a couple shots of spreadwing damsels taken in Calgary. I hope these don't bore anyone.  Image hosted by forum (934605) © Archibald [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

The 100mm opens up new worlds. It might take a while to tame that lens! What is the white bloom on the yellow jacket? And I see it has company! Thanks. Yes, it'll take some taming! Puzzled myself by the white "fur" but there were several similar bugs, all with that white on their backs. I didn't notice the tiny black bugs until PP. Couldn't even see them with the naked eye. I'm going to enjoy this lens. It's all about the light...
