Still one of my favourite moments in Costa Rica when the Yellow Throated Toucan flew off with the large stick insect 🤩

Love the look of this Cotton Bollworth moth as it has exited the flower and the pollen shed.

Older gear challenge
This was taking this summer with a 7d mki and ef 18-135mm to show that you can get results with any gear. I made a YouTube video about it if you’re interested, search macro_action

Like a bee to a flaming flower
I do love honey bees and bees in general but I’m always on the lookout for new subjects so I neglect these beauties.

Just got rid of that lens but tbf I was using it adapted to the Nikon z8/9. It was good , small, light but because it was adapted the focusing felt slightly off all the time and what was in focus never really gave that wow factor. I can’t give it a true like or dislike but it just didn’t grab me.

Took this on the Panasonic Leica 200mm f2.8 Elmarit to see if it would compete with the brand new OM 50-200mm f2.8 pro lens and made a YouTube video about my experiences with the lens. Search macro_action on YouTube to see how I got on.

I think so far I’ve only doubled up on one species so far (didn’t realise I put a male and female of the same) and not sure how many different ones I actually got yet but at least14 species in flight in one day is not bad at all lol.
