Macro

A variety of insects

Here is a variety of macro photo’s of insects from the last few weeks, using the Olympus EM5 MkII, the legacy Olympus 80mm F4 macro lens attached to extension tubes and diffused flash lighting.

The snipefly is from a visit to Canford Magna, whereas the remainder are from several excursions to Blashford Lakes nature reserve.
