My old thread died, most images disappeared with huge help of image hosting service This is the reason why I'll start a new thread, with images of different insects and other invertebrates (maybe few vertebrate macro shots will be also added here). I'll try to upload arachnids to this thread.
Most of the animals you will find here, where photographed be me or my wife (or both by us) in Poland or during our trips around Europe. There will be also pictures with more exotic species - our pets or inverts we have seen in Asia.
I'll upload pictures that were taken just a few days ago and these made a few years ago. During that time we changes our gear many times. From Nikon D70s, through D200, D300s to D700. The funniest thing is, that we use all of our cameras to this day (D70s mostly for IR photos). We also used many different lenses, and some are still being used: Nikkor Micro 105/2.8D, Nikkor Micro 60/2.8D, Nikkor Micro PC 85/2.8D, reversed Takumar 28/2.8 (Pentax mount), Takumar MC 50/4, Industar-61L/Z 50/2.8, microscope lenses ect. Extension tubes, speedlights, diffusers, pieces of aluminium foil or white paper (to bounce the light), CPL filters are our additional accessories.
1. Cimbex sp. sawfly larva.
2. Prionus coriarius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
3. Sciomyzidae fly.
4. Tychius quinquepunctatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
5. Therea petiveriana
6. Hierodula membranacea
7. Final molt of Blaberus sp.
8. Silpha sp. (Coleoptera: Silphidae)
9. Colydium elongatum (Coleoptera: Colydiidae)
10. Lilioceris lilii (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
