Four from this afternoon.

Had to go do some referral surgeries today but got home in time to get out and shoot a little. Wind was still up a little but not too bad.
Plan to spend most of the day tomorrow shooting bugs and things.

All shot with Canon XSi, Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro, Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lites (1/2 power both heads), mono-pod, EXIF embedded.

First is a Lucilia sp. or Green Bottle Fly.

Next three are of a leafhopper that I have never seen before. Paraulacizes irrorata or Speckled Sharpshooter Leafhopper. Thought it was interesting.

Thanks for looking and as always C&C is more than welcome.

Other than the reflection of the lamps, your shots are very cool...Texas has some ugly bugs. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I've got Sto-fen diffusers on the heads, but its not enough. I've got to rig up some more diffusion. Trying to figure out a way to put some puffers on them. I'll figure it out eventually. Thanks for the comments.
