These will fit in well here. The dragonfly was sitting on the Jasmine Tobacco plant. Ever hear the term "Smaller than a tobacco seed?"

They were shot with a D3200 and a 55-200mm lens.

Nice shots!

bend the rules, macro on a point and shoot camera.

I suppose this is close enough to count as a macro; Tam 150-600, hand-held

Nice pictures here. Special the spiders

Not that I would make a habit of it, but the TAM 150-600 is pretty good close in -- great if you need that flower big, but don't want to go through the poison ivy to get it.
This is a 100% crop (if I did it right) of a hand-held shot at the minimum focal distance

I would call it a macro but I think you got the wrong end of the deal

Guess I should post it in the Bottoms Up thread then.
