another great shot
I always enjoy your photos. They are always well lit and composed (ie: beautiful as photos) while being scientifically sound (ie: good for identification, or showing the fine details, like this photo does).
Great Work!

 
Appreciate thie kind words...
When the bug is cooperative, I try to provide a balance between composition and good angles for identification. My gift to Bug Guide :^).

 
Oh no.....
see, now you've given him the big head....

....
....by the way, what do you go by....Scott or Preston....I've seen people call you Scott so I figured it's that but just making sure.

Anyway....
Do you take the full body shots etc with a 100mm and then use the 65 for really close up like this one ?

 
Just call me Scott...
For this little fellow, I used the 65 for all images starting at around 2x and going to 3x for the head shot. Any bug over 22mm or so, I have to use the 105mm which is usually on my Rebel XT.
