The big one was moving around really fast. Only paused for a split second, then off again!
I'm having trouble keeping up!

Nice capture!
In the insect world, this is typical size disparity between large female and smaller male.

Per your Exif info: Nikon D90 at ISO 400, with Nikkor 105-mm lens, 1/60-sec at f/16, Aperture priority.
Nice exposure. Available light, or with speedlight?

Built in flash. I had my 300mm on looking for birds when I spotted this insect. Quickly switched to 105 to get images before they flew off.

Been there. Now I carry two bodies with different lenses, etc., so I am ready for extreme close-up as well as distant subjects.

Hoping to get the D7000 this summer. I'll keep the 105 on my D90 (with the SB800 & ring flash) & use the D7000 for 300mm.naturepics43 wrote:
