Macro shoot on 10 May

[ranmasatome]

This one is very common but i am not sure of the species name..but see the wings a bit transparent one?? its a trademark of this family of moths, the Sesiidae... more commonly known as clearwing moths.
Think classification should be as follows Order lepidoptera, family sesiidae, sub-family sesiinae, genus/species - someone else fill in for me please.

since its so common...should have someone know this off the top of their heads...should be a sesia genus if i'm not wrong... coloration patterns looks similar

[hwchoy]

I was hoping to at least get a genus!

[ranmasatome]

haha... not a moth person la me... maybe simon would know.

Lunch time on Ubin…

a Lynx spider enjoying his lunch on a Calotropis gigantea leaf.

this is the plant that spider was sitting in…


terribly harsh lights (daylight + 2×550EX), any suggestions other than to lug along huge softboxes?

Wow, so many nice shots by so many people. Just saw this thread and really don't know what to say. So many nice pictures all at once. Love the one where the lynx is feasting.

Billy, where're yours? I'll post the 3 flash one later.

Nothing impressive from me.... nothing to post....
Still enjoying the pictures here...

OK, maybe this... but not really macro

[Simon]

Someone ID this butt, please?

[Simon]

[luenny]

Here are some of mine. Still not very familar with the lens. I think I still need some time to tame it. Darn, my camera sensor is so dirty. Spend a lot of time PP the dirt out.

Daylight moth (thanks to Simon for showing me this):


Crab spider under a flower (thanks to Simon for showing me this):


Unknown spider, somebody help ID please. Billy this one shot with 3 flashes - I think.

[luenny]

Some Spider...someone please id it.

I'm guessing this is a nursery web spider or a lawn wolf spider.

Here are some of my favorite
Unknown Insect, if anyone can ID, I'll be grateful.
Canon 20D. 100mm macro + 56mm extension tube f8 1/100 ISO400

I think this is a wasp.

[trident]

Luenny,
The new lens is good, picture is sharp and color is rich.

Luenny,
The one you shot with 3 flash is definitely a lynx spider.

The moth is Day-flying moth Syntomis huebneri
