More extreme macro insect pictures

Here are some more extreme macro pics using the 55 to 200 mm zoom lens/ reversed 50mm primes lens, combo. These where all taken in my garden. The beetle pic is a focus stacked image to ensure all around sharpness. Taking extreme macro pics of tiny ants is very challenging because they don't stay still for very long and the depth of field at great magnification is so small. I love the challenge... Enjoy...

Ants communicating using their feelers

Even the tiniest of ants are perfect in eery detail

I wonder who painted those spots on this beetle?

Compound eyes all the better to see you with


I love the compound eyes and iridescent wings on this tiny midge
