One of over 60,000 in the species of weevil, this little guy just appeared on my person yesterday! I took him outside, set him on a leaf, had a little chat with him about eye-contact and poses, then watched as he opened his wings and flew off into the wide blue freedom of the sky.

Yes, we have the same spikey hairdo now...
Weird little critters but very photogenic.
Those eyes look amazing.

Thanks Patrick, Frank and Adam. Yep it's pretty amazing how interesting things get the closer you get!
Baz.
Wow Baz,
that pic is just way beyond awesome !!!
Mind if I ask, what lens did you use Baz please? I'd really like to get a decent macro lens, - any suggestions on one that wouldn't break the bank?
Cheers :thumbsup:
Whoops,
from your spidery post, I'm guessing it's your Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS USM

Thanks Paul! :thumbsup: Yep, you are correct, it is the 100mm. Depending on how your income sees $1000, will determine whether it breaks the bank or not. ;)
To me, it is a bank-breaker, I've been saving up for months for a 100-400L and still nowhere near it yet. :sadeyes:
In my book, good glass is worth paying for!

Thanks Baz,
after much help from other forum members, I've ordered the non IS version of this lens earlier today. Can't wait to get to use it :)
