That's blasphemy!!!! Talk like that and my buddies might all track you down :mrgreen:. While some of these are in our yard, most of the bug photos are at the edge of our woods on bushes and trees, weeds, etc....

can you recommend me on a lense for a noob like me for micro shot like that? Something that is not too hard on my wallet!

Honestly, the Tamron 180mm f3.5 is the only macro I've ever used so that's the only recommendation I could make from experience. I've seen great results from the Tamron 90mm and Sigma 105mm. Tamron 180 wouldn't exactly be easy on your wallet like the 90 or 105 would.
