I put my reversed lens away for now and took some regular macro shots. I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering my Tamron 90mm SP Di in the next week or two, so I am psyched about that. Until then, here are the few I got today:

Just a big ol' fly:

My first Katydid, who seems to be looking over the edge at something (I am amazed at the colors dazzlebea gets on her katydids. Mine seem to be bland and boring ;)):

Here is a feeding hoverfly that I expertly managed to completely miss the focus on. I still like it though:

And finally... the craziest bug I've seen in a while. I have no idea what it is. An assassin bug, perhaps?:

Thanks for looking. Hopefully a new lens will make my pictures a little more pleasing to the eye. I'm pretty sure I'm getting the Tamron because of it's amazing sharpness and it's versatility as a portrait lens. If anyone has any information/experience​s/horror stories with this lens, let me know!
