Tell me again what kind of equipment you have. Your detail and focus are superb. Your pictures look like what I strive for. Haven't got there yet and may never. Nice going.

I use both the 105-mm and 150-mm sigma macros. Click on the link Douglass posted above. These pics were taken with both. Lately I have been using 56-mm extension tubes on the 150. tomTell me again what kind of equipment you have. Your detail and focus are superb. Your pictures look like what I strive for.

This is a darkling beetle in the Order Coleoptera, Family Tenebrionidae. Some immatures are called false wireworms. Another common immature is the mealworm raised to feed reptiles, amphibians, fish, lizards, geckos, chickens, bearded dragons, birds, fish bait and much more. The eleven segmented moniliform antennae and dark exoskeleton is a clue.
These are great when cooked and put in popcorn balls or other food, We have such goodies at our Entomology Meetings in Arkansas. Yum, Yum.
