Nice one, you got too much time on your hands! :D
Bugger I am the LONER PHOTOGRAPHER here :( come on, not be lousy and start posting some images, even a flea belong to your dog!
I was chasing a bee in one of the grevilleas when accidentally I spoted this 5mm long Orange fly.
This is with in the limits of my lens combo, so I have hard time in capturing some of the details on the body :( I need a macro lens :D
Talking about macro I have a low quality image of a 5 mm long Lynx spider that was in one of the grasses leafs. When I uploaded the image in the PC I have a shock! The spider have a 1.5mm aphids on the mouth :eek: What a lens combo!
May be I will post it later on :)

Sorry Arthur. I don't have a macro lens.
Here's about as close as I can get to the bugs I usually have to deal with.

Thanks mate,Nice image!
I do ot have a macro lens either and use the nikon 70-300VR with the 6t diopter for close up images.
Hey Arthur just not having the opportunity at the moment but I am sure I will post again!
It is Ok Panya you have posted your fair share :)
I just try to motivate the timid people among the 833 viewers of this thread :D
This is the 5mm long (max)Lynxs spider that I have mentioned in my post of the Orange fly which have an about 1.5mm aphids in it mouth.
The image it is not technically good because the size of the spider is a bit beyond the magnification of the lens combo, but nevertheless it is a good reference shot.
I was not aware of the aphids untill I have the image on the screen in the PC. It is so small that will be impossible to see it with the naked eye.
Cheers

Arthur have you tried using a reversed lens for macro work?
