Awww... and here I thought you were speaking with an accent! Durn! :(

Hey, thanks on the compliment... I would love to get all fat headed but truth be known ANYbody taking as many shots as I do will have a Few that turn out surprisingly nice. lol It's all in the accidents.

Cool part is, after a couple of years of shooting, those accidents are finally happening a little more frequently.

Here is a praying mantis eating a honeybee. Notice the small gnats around the prey, they are snatching up bits of the meal.

Will have to look up bee-mimic fly... this one was full bee size

Love the photo you have... Golden orb weaver? Actually just like photographing spiders!
If you're interested, there are a couple of more pics of this yellow spider and another like it. They are unusual here.

Great shots! Those are crab spiders, and they are awesome looking creatures.

I am so glad they don't come in dog or cat size!

YIKES!! That is one of the most 'alien' faces I've ever seen!

You must have a larger lens than I do, I opted for the 18x200mm lens when I bought the camera, which does a great job for all my photography needs, but I envy your 'zoom' power!! I'd need a tripod for certain. I do all my shots free standing, thank goodness for digital, I can take a whole series and pick out the sharpest.

I think given the choice between the two, I would take a high-power microscope over a high-power telescope any day. There is a lifetime of discoveries to be found up close.
