You are making some real magic with the K-1 and the oldie FA 50mm macro and new-ish D-FA 100mm macro.

Thanks. The gear has great potential in it.

Many, many years ago we hired an electric boat to wander about the fens. I was particularly excited to see swallowtail butterflies for the first time!

Out for a stroll around the neighborhood, I happened upon this grasshopper, sitting on the path before me. He was kind enough to hold still long enough for me to lower my Olympus within range.

This individual was walking across the sidewalk in front of me... moving quite slowly, without a care in the world. At the far end of the pavement was an accumulation of discarded twigs and dried grasses, a veritable forest for an insect. Shortly after I took this photo, the mantis disappeared amongst them and was lost from view.

This is the first time I've watched this action. This grasshopper raises it's arm above it's head and then wipes his eye off. I watched him go through the motion a few times. I probably should have switched over to video.

Most insects do that. When I used a very thin water spray to add a bit of drama and the insects would clean it off their eyes AND the would pull their antenna through their jaws to clean the water droplets. It's very interesting to see. I do have a picture of that somewhere.
