I can't remember if this is a Lacewing larva or something else. I know I've seen Tom's pictures of this critter posted here. I tried to shoot one last year but the focal plane on my capture left a lot to be desired. When I saw this one today I remembered how hard it was to get good DoF and set aperture to f16. Results are much better then last's year's attempt. 5D-III, Sigma 105, 430EXII, DIY Diffuser.

I am sure that this is a caterpillar. I see a few reddish, leggy parasites on this critter, some on the cornflakes, some below, especially image #4.

I saw the reddish critters when I was processing the files. I didn't notice them when I was shooting. Wish I had as I would have collected the subject and taken a look under the microscope.

Geometrid Moths is a wide category. Basically, all inchworms, aka loopers, measuringworms, spamworms, are geometrid cats.

I have a Canon 5D mark all with the Canon 100 mm lens. And, I have Nikon D 5100 with a Sigma 105 mm lens.
I use a ring light for illuminating.
