I used the 105mm micro, a flash & softbox on a Kalt grip. I'm a little shaky & out of practice. Thus the too high f/14 which I think softened things up a bit. I brought the (At least I'm pretty sure it is) Cuckoo wasp (Chrysis) inside for a (little bit) better photo.

Very nicely done! I'd say you nailed all of them. I will have to look up the Kalt grip.

Thanks Mark.
Just do a search on Amazon. Nikonian72 & I have the first two reviews. They can be found for less every now & then on eBay. I did some modifying on mine. It's been 5 years & still holding up fine. I also added an ARCA type quick release.

Thanks Merry, but not to another fly! And the spiders around my house seem to like them.
