First Results from the 70mm Macro

It's very quiet in the terrestrial photo section lately. Guiess we are all holding our collective breath to see who one this months challenge.
Meanwhile here are a few from the forest floor.
Most of these are sub-4mm and are the first with my new Sigma 70mm macro lens. Having got the hang of it, and started looking at the truly small, I spent an hour in one square metre of leaf and bark litter and took 40 photos!

1&2 Xylaria hypoxylon - Dead Mans Fingers, and the name has never been so appropriate as the second image looking like someone reaching out of the grave. Totally thrill when I got that picture.
3 Lachnum virgineum
6 Xylaria sp.
7 Calocera cornea
The others are yet to be ID'ed
