Insects up close ......

Since I found out today is world photography day I knew I should do a blog post. I have been wanting to share some of the insect photos I got using my macro lens. I am still learning all the focus points but its still really cool what you can get .... 


This is one of the very first insect photos I took with my macro lens. A Japanese beetle in the rain -- as I said I am still getting used to the focus points but I love that you can see the stripes on its back and the rain drop 

A deer fly in the rain-- not sure if the rain was keeping it still but i love how shiny that water made it and couldn't resist taking a picture 

caught as it was flying away -- I love that you can see all the pollen on its legs

not a big fan of ant's so this is about as close as I want to get to it -- love all the detail in the flower also 

and another of the same flowers -- the bugs seem to like it 
I was hoping to see butterflies when I was using my macro lens -- but saw this caterpiller instead -- thought it was pretty cool the detail the macro shows 

and an even closer view -- love how you can see all the spiky hairs .... 


not sure what it is but loved the orange and black and the detail I could see 

and an even better view of the legs and antennae 



a tiny sweat bee -- such great contrast with the white petals 

loving the striped end
can see wings, antanneas and legs -- and the flowers are pretty nice too 

the details of the bee and the flower are so clear its awesome 
you can almost see it collecting the pollen 


loved this little white moth -- the petals are so delicate and I love that you can see the antennae and a leg plus the details of the flower 

and even closer so much that you can see its eyes 
close up of two bees together -- love how you can see legs and tell the wings are folded
look how much pollen it has collected - so cool that you can see some of the grains 
and a little different angle -- wings, pollen and antennae -- awesome 


again the detail I could capture is just awesome. I did have to get really close to them so they were very nice bees :D 
and I like this one because you can almost see how much the bee is  concentrating

and this one is cool because you can see the sectioning of the legs....

Thanks as always for sharing my photos with me -- I had  lot of fun capturing close ups of the insects and hope to be getting and sharing more -- especially of butterflies. Always learning and growing with my photography and I love it. Until next time my friends ...
