This one was taken with
the 5D using the 65mm lens and a 1.4x teleconverter. I'm still using the 40D for most of the pictures with the 100mm lens. I don't like changing lenses all the time, so both cameras get plenty of use.

Galumna with attached Leptus
Hi Tom,

The oribatid belongs to the family Galumnidae and probably the genus Galumna (looks like the lamellar setae are on line L). The red mite is a larval Erythraeidae, probably in the genus Leptus.

Cheers,

Dave Walter
