Not that I am jealous of your image collecting abilities ...
... But I would like to know what camera and lens you used to capture the critter.

TIA

camera type
Hi Mr Newton, I use a Nikon D40 with 60mm AF Micro Nikkor lens, on camera flash.
I glanced through your contributions and find the Agepostemon sp. in the pollen dust most interesting. Great shot there!
Cheers!

Thank you.
That is indeed my favorite BugGuide image. I captured that scene with a Pentax optio W30 at close range. I have a Nikon D90 and a micro lens which I must discipline myself to use more frequently. The Pentax point and shoot doesn't offer the depth of field I obtain with my Nikon.

green lacewing debris carrying larva
Hi thanks for the comment, I love taking photos of bugs, but don't know a thing about entymology. Larva? I never would have guessed.

I hear you on that!
Everything I know about bugs I learned from wandering around BugGuide :)
