Amazing find, never even heard of this specie. And impressively sharp as always. Did you use flash? A tripod? Posted 13 years ago

  Thanks. This was shot out of the hand without flash. There was enough light from the sun to not need a flash.
  I don't use a tripod in the nature macro (yet) because I think the insects will be long gone before I have set up my tripod.
  I want to try it some time though because movement is currently the biggest reason my macro's go wrong. There are enough insects which do stay in the same spot some time and with a tripod I would have all the time to set the focus manually and I can choose a smaller aperture because the shutter time is less an limit.
