A few with the MPE65 mm

These are with a 1.4 teleconverter because I have been having problems focusing recently so the idea is to improve the visibility

Hatching, anyone know the exact ID? They were quite tricky to photograph

I don't normally photograph ants (not a great variety) but I am going on holiday soon I thought I should practise, this is a bit bigger than some I see on holiday

Nice Macro...............

Nice shots. Number three I believe are Stink Bugs.

Thank you, I wondered if anyone knew the exact ID, I think they might be hawthorn shield bug (Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale)

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug looks very similar in colour and markings.

More micro critters! The hopper and hatchlings are especially nice.

Nicely done. I've always lusted for that lens. Handheld with the MPE65 is impressive.

Great colourful set of macro`s.

Love the little froghopper!

And nice to see some eggs and recently hatched critters - something we don't often see.

Also how is the 1.4TC improving visibility? I'm confused how its helping there.
