Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder... I admit I like it! Very nice detail, good capture. Yes, and thanks for sharing!

Hmm 🤔 I think I’ll do the flower tomorrow, I suppose they can’t all be cute jumping spiders, thanks

I admit that some flies look better than others.  I am impressed with the detail in the mouth parts and the eyes.

I got a raynox 250 just as winter hit and the bugs disappeared, so with spring I’m now getting something to play with

I watched saw a vid saying it was better at higher apertures, which seems at odds with don’t use high apertures or you get diffraction 🤔

i’m definitely getting more bug on the sensor which has to help
