Moved.
In the interest of cleaning up "ID Request," I have moved this series. We still need a real mite expert to go through all the Acari:-(

Camera Stuff
I usea a Canon 1D Mark III camera with an MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x macro photo lens and a Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX for flash. These images were ISO400 at f/16 with ratio flash but I don't know the ratio or settings. I change them depending on the magnification settings and the EXIF doesn't record the settings. They were all hand-held; thus the fuzziness to some of them.
