Nicely done. Is that captured using extension tubes or close up filter like Raynox 150 or 250 or Canon 500D?

As I was getting dressed this morning, this little praying mantis was sitting on my clothes - I relocated it to the marigolds outside

I do like this lens Steve which would go very well on my X-T3, but my wife and I have incurred a lot of expense already this year, so please stop posting great photos like these! I hope I can rely on your cooperation in this sensitive matter!

I had the 60 macro on the X-S10 so I could take daffodil pics. Not the fastest lens AF but it seemed to keep up with the bee.

Thank you. Just the lens (it focuses fairly close, a bit over 3 ft, 1 m), so I find it good for butterflies and other insects). I crop the image as needed (within reason).

Dark Glassy Tiger (Parantica agleoides) - Kemenuh Butterfly Park, Bali, Indonesia by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

I am going out on a limb here, but I think this is a Dark Glassy Tiger butterfly, enjoying the plant life in the Kemenuh Butterfly Park.

We spent a fair bit of time exploring the Kemenuh Butterfly Park in Bali, Indonesia. I can highly recommend it if you are in Bali and in the Ubud area.
