Thanks Mike, I was pretty happy with this handheld macro with my 60mm on a live moth.

I keep on hearing 60mm for macro is no good.. and i understand the reasoning.. but I do love this lens!

My last for a while -- the camera just died and will likely be heading back to Nikon just in time for the Christmas rush

Okay, this is a little creepy -- a Siamese monarch. I could not get a shot, but they are joined at the abdomen
