The hover flies and slime mould were shot with a Nikon D2X and 200mm Nikkor Micro. Forgive me for the framing as I seem to have lost the raw files.
Note the small wings on the large bodied hover fly. This fly is not graceful at all, so when it comes in to land on flowers, etc., it's pretty scary.
While this one is all body, the 2nd one is all head!
The slime mould sporangia were shot in almost complete darkness. Used too small of an F stop. The sporangia here measure ca. 4-5mm tall.
The painted lady butterfly was shot with D500 and 200mm Nikkor Micro.
