Catherine and I had to make a quick run back to Iona Beach last night to retrieve a fallen Raynox DCR-250 and to search out some Micropezid flies for Morgan Jackson. It was a quick trip, but we succeeded on both counts! Of course, I also took the opportunity to do some shooting as well. Here is what we got.
A Tibellus (Philodromidae) feasts on a damslefly.
A damselfly feasts on a chironomid midge.
Great photos! Can I ask what kind of camera/lens you use for the close up shots?
Thanks! I use a Canon 60D and 100 mm macro lens, usually with this monstrous rig:http://ibycter.com/2013/04/02/cheapskate-tuesday-10-monstermacrorig/
That’s quite an impressive setup! I’ve just invested in a macro lens, now I just need the rest!
