Some Bug I found
If anyone knows what this is......I would bet it was probably consuming the red spider mites on this wild rose bush.

Like your bug shots.
You said you got a new macro lens.
What kind?
I got a 10x doppler--like a screw-on filter. But I'm having problems with focus.

Somebody get a shot of an assassin bug. I'm always trying to show people around here what our variety looks like and haven't found a good picture yet.
Ps, don't let 'em get you.

Hiding inside from all the rain :) About to begin bug hunting in earnest now that we should have sunshine this week.

I really liked the second shot of the attached photos, nicely done for DOF and sharpness!

Yep--know the feeling!--I got a Raynox 250--it's a screw in with adapter. I find setting the macro feature works best for focus. If I really want close up I have to either prop or use a tripod. I never can get a really close shot i.e the eye of the fly without loosing other details. With a flash--I can make some spiders completely translucent almost like an xray--or I can count the hairs on an ants butt(no kidding!) Here's a half way decent shot I got tonight with it--using a tripod-no flash.

Here are a couple that are most like the one I saw. There are a lot of different kinds I guess.
