Must be a night for mantis. I am on road block duty to an issue at work but it means the halogen lights are attracting many bugs and I have my camera bring on the 12 hr shift.

What is the white attachment on your lens- is it some kind off diffuser that works with the internal flash?

Thanks Pat. With my body sent back to the clinic (hopefully not in Lohan Suite), I have been poking through old shots and found this one. If you can't shoot, review.

The March Flies are plentiful here at the moment, for a couple of weeks every December they are very hungry.

Cool shots I tracked one down the other day by following his calls, then as I was getting into position to take his photo 'poof' he was gone. Oh well you win some and you loose some
