| Great shots, Clave! The macro lens allows you to get up close and personal (several inches away) with your subject...something that most bugs frown upon anyway. I've found that, unless its a cold day and the bugs are sluggish, using a longer lens wins over the macro. A macro will usually have a fixed focal length, but have a much lower f-stop, allowing for shallower depth-of-field, blurring out the immediate background and causing your subject to really pop. But I've managed some excellent shots with longer zooms before, too! Besides...people yell at you when you go tromping through their flowerbeds to get that one perfect rose that's 15 feet away.

| There is a bit of common land about a 1/2 mile from me, and it is not used much, so there is nobody to comment on you as point your camera at the ground and mutter about 'damn flies' etc. The moth came out well too, Mrs C has it framed up on top of the TV now...  I should get back up there next summer, it's a bit of a fun trying to track down really small creatures...

Oddly enough, I have toyed with idea of drawing insects but nothing to show for it yet...
