Thank you Alan!
for your kind comments about this image. Almost all my BG contributions to the end of November 2015 were taken with a very cheap point-and-shoot that surprisingly did an OK job with bugs larger than half an inch, but the results were disappointing with smaller critters. Now, I have been using a Canon 7D body, a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens, and ring flash. This is a very challenging lens to use, but "when all the planets are in perfect alignment", the results are very rewarding. The main problem with this lens is not being able to fit large insects into the photo frame. Thank you again for your kind remarks.
