These little buggers pack a mean sting, didn't get the better of me

Don

Very nice pics, Don!

Nice images!

I'm sure envious of the subject matter that's available down there...we're still digging out from the last snowstorm.

Don,

Great shots, you are certainly showing what that AmScope 4X can do in skilled hands

Best,

Don,

I like the first one the best. Lovely background colors and details.

I hate to be pedantic, but they actually bite, not sting

But I do agree with you, both hurt! And the thought of having flesh ripped off in small chunks is always worse than a sting, IMHO. It changes my attitude to the insect too - the 'biter' is actively trying to eat you, where as a 'stinger' is only trying to protect itself and can be reasoned with, as it were.

Mighty fine pictures, too, c h u n k

Beautiful photos! May I know what lens has been used for these? Perhaps some very sophisticated equipment and technique? This is my dream!

Would I be on the right track with Sony A6000 and Sony 90mm macro?

Sorry, if it sounds too ignorant.

Don, thanks. It looks like something over my head. For the time being I'll stay with flowers and perhaps butterflies. But first I'll have to get that Sony 90mm macro.
