You can see the Robberfly's proboscis right inside the little Bee. You can also see bubbles inside the little Bee's abdomen!
There is a fine line between a hobby and mental illness!

    Welcome to the Forum :D

    The detail is just amazing Jody I love it iloveyou.gif I'd love to see your setup.... so you have your tubes then the lens, then the reversed lens??
    is that right?

    The thing I dont understand is this.......... when you are using two lenses do you have to focus both??? or do you set one to where you want it then must constantly focus the second one???

    Man that's an Excellent Shot thumb.gif Skippy (Australia)
