Stunning images! Very high quality set!
 
Or perhaps sunblinded? :D :D :D
 
Beautiful depth! Nice image!
 
Truly very nice. Love it, love the name. Excellent work.
 
Fulvio, you forgot to mention the important detail. Who is on top? Male of female? :D :D :D
 
Wow! A National Geographic shot, Bruno.

I tried shooting a hoverfly in flight, with reasonable success. Also shot a damselfly, the species is not known to me, all the damselflies I've seen around here have been blue. This one isn't.

It is. It is a grey skinned, very, very old damselfly... :D :D :D

Your image shows the greatest advantage of small sensor cameras. Very deep field of view.

I could not take a shot like this with my GH2. Not even at f16 could I achieve this deep field of view.

Here is a comparison. Barely the head in focus. Everything else blurred.

So true. When I used to shoot this kind of thing with a DSLR, I'd shoot a burst and invariably when dealing with such high magnification, the plain of focus would vary a fair bit, relatively speaking, so I'd put the shots into a stack and focus blend them. That worked pretty well, but this is so much easier, just one shot.

Trying to figure out what to post this week I can across some of my hen & chicks and when looking at these I realized there were stones caught in them. Maybe the Hen thinks the stones are her chicks and she's keeping them warm. ;) These two shots were taken with the Raynox 150 and my binocular lens.

Ha, ha... I don't know (I am not a moth expert).

Thanks for viewing, Robiro!

Excellent shot Rob. Maybe you should have put up a warning something along the lines of "Contains sex scenes". :-)
 
Excellent quality shot and very interesting.
