Awesome set of photos. I just got the extension tubes. Here in Northeast Ohio it's tough to find anything alive right now. Good job.

Good series, thanks for the info.
Even though it's 50 out this early AM and raining, not much bug activity.

I was told in my younger days that Ladybugs brought you good luck. Then I found out they bite, so what's so lucky about that? By the way nice shots!

Ladybugs bite? We used to let them crawl all over our hands as kids...never got bit once.
