I've just spent the last hour crawling around the yard (dont know what all the cars driving past thought, probably that I'm crazy) and it's amazing how many insects there are. My problem is that it's really windy today and just when I have something lined up the wind blows it out of the viewfinder. I also dont have a specific macro lens so I am limited to screwing a macro filter on the front of my current lens. There's a bunch of wasps but was too scared to get up too close. Wasp stings do strange things to me. I tried but realised after a few minutes that my heart was beating really fast.
I can't enter, of course..
But guys, you know how ladybugs swarm around in some peoples' houses.
Also, there are lots of basement spiders in some peoples' houses.
I guess it is a bit odd to have an insect challenge in the winter.
Atleast its a challenging challenge..

Most of us don't have the equipment to get up close and personal without cropping. Will truly be a challenge. Maybe I should email Doc about advice with super glue and bugs....

Don't get them stuck on your fingers. That's my advice.
My entry is 100% superglue free. The little guy went on his merry way after I was through with him.

Well, praise be. There was a bug on my deck today. Big guy too. Anyway, I got a shot for the challenge, but it ain't close enough to be eye to eye. Still, it got my shoes on to shoot, though it probably won't be the last. Still a few days left to get some others.
Hey, are we talking Literal insects, or would somthing kinda Comical that includes a stuffed insect toy be just as good, Cause i just got another foot of snow here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... and insects this time of year are fairly sparse, and i would like to enter anyways since i have not entered into anything before... but the best thing i can get is a toy...
Comments please.
