Moved
Moved from
Stenolemus
. A key covering 3 of 4 species in genus (see
genus guide page
) plus range statements and description in Slater
(
1
)
, indicate that all the photos we have to date are of
Stenolemus lanipes
. Thus I am moving all images assigned at the genus level to the new guide page.
Great images!

Thanks Sam...
The MP-E 65 takes some getting used to and I feel like there is still room for improvement. I'm using this setup hand held because most of the time these bugs won't stay still. This bug surprised me though. It hung around long enough for me to fire off some 60 odd images before I released it.
When you get this lens, practice and patience will yield great rewards.
Take care!

Hand held? Stop rubbing it in!
I can hardly pick up my D80 with 180mm Sigma macro, let alone hold it steady enough to get close-ups like this.

It's a pretty heavy rig...
But I think it makes for a steadier aim!
