Your favorite macro of bugs, insects, butterflies, unusual one please!

[Amelie]

Today I was walking trough my garden when I saw them....get a room please!
They were so cute and I manage to catch them with my camera....




Last week also I saw this ugly guy, but I don't know his name...don't be afraid, but he is really ugly....

[Patty]

I think this is my fav as I had just received my new 100mm macro at work on this date, and found this little guy on my rose bush in my driveway, when I got home. Of course I whipped out the new lens and captured him. This shot launched my passion for macro photography...

[Amelie]

Anyone? Show me your bugs!

[Amelie]

@Patty It is so nice, I like the color, the bug, so unusual and fragile one! I am saving for my first macro, I want Tamron 90 mm 2.8, hope to buy him soon because the bug season is just started!

[Sheila]

Saw this monster chewing down his lunch yesterday. Very bold dragonfly!



Loved this gentle moth hanging on the path along my daily walk!

[Susan Pigott]

Here are a couple of mine.

[Livia]

Ooh, I love taking macro shots! This is a weaver ant. I think he's very photogenic.



And a tiny jumping spider. He is barely 1cm (0.3in)!

[Tams]

This is the only one I got mostly by accident lol...

[❀ Lynn]

Don't have a macro lens, this is what I captured with my big lens because I didn't want to get any closer!

[Jill]

A really unusuak fly...

[Jill]

I love this cute little guy :)

[Bugik]

I took this last year and my favorite macro so far. My first time to see a fly (the size of a grain of rice) drinking raindrops. I'm going to hunt for this fascinating scene come summer. I hope I will be able to find one.



And I like this one too...

[Devrin Wimberley]

A wasp that hung around for days. I don't think he felt well.

[Mike]

Snakefly on my olive tree.

[Lisabell]

i was taking a macro of a flower when a teeny, tiny bug appeared.
This is my most recent. I was pleased with the clarity.

[Mick]

another "Get a room" shot. I did not know this was two flies mating when I starting snapping pics...I did this with my zoom lens..need a macro! Anyway, I thought it was one little fly on the wooden edge of a planter box in our outdoor classroom at school..turns out, it was this!

I don't know if this counts, technically it's not a macro shot as I took it with my tele lens from a distance of 1,5 meters:



But these are "real" macros:
