With my new macro-rig...

[Pete Askew]

I thought it was a bit early for Robber Flies to be active. But I know the flies you mean now.

I like the wasp too, especially the second shot.

I love the colours in the wasps wings....

 

[Kev Pugh]

Great shots, looking forward to seeing more Rense and also of the rig..

 

[Rense Haveman]

Superb Rense. The ants especially. Is that a Robber Fly (Asilidae)? It looks a bit like one. I like the background. Is it natural?

Pete, sorry for not answering your last question. Yes, it is natural...

I really am in bug heaven here. I'm the rare sort of person (let alone a female person) who will save any bug in jeopardy. At work I will happily catch a wasp in my hands and take it outside the building, while all the guys want to kill it. The first wasp here is especially stunning

After seeing these I think I'll give up on macro they are too good for me to get anywhere near.

I'm late to the party, as usual, but these are all just crazy good, I have to say. I know nothing about macro photography and it never occurred to me to flip a lens or why you would even want to do that (they never covered that in my photo classes at school ). In any case, the results speak for themselves. I'm just speechless.
