They reek. Canon t2i, 40mm pancake with 40 mm tubes. A gray market ring lite. Camera on tripod with rails. I go into a 19 inch TV with a cable. I use a remote trip and live view. I tend to adjust a constantly on light, rather than flash. A lacewing larva

Curious that it would lurk there, but I suppose it will find tiny prey. Never heard of an adult lacewing using chemical deterrents.

If you stare at a mossy tree trunk, you may see movement. Looking close you will see it is moss. Glued to a lacewing lavara. They are covered in sticky hairs. They may even use the body of their prey. These were pushing between the florets with the mandibles. Every once in a while they would linger. I believe they sense larva, nematodes,prey in general, and bite thru the florets and drain they prey. Speculation. I will look in suspect florets for bodies. Thanks for or thumbs up,Nikonian.

I just looked at some old notes. I found a list of canon fd lenses that lend themselves to reversing. I did this with a 1000d canon. I upgraded to a T2I(A very good dea!l), I am going to test them tomorrow, have plenty subjects,so hope to get some worthwhile shots. Bill
