I am sure you convince her to let you get one of these. The 55mm f/3.5 AI Micro Nikkor is an outstanding macro lens. Get a PK-11 and you can do 1:1.

Love the veins in the wings. Chased him around to get a picture. After I got done chasing him and had moved on it literally landed on my camera.

Nice shots. This is a damselfly, same family as dragonfly (I think).

Thanks Marilynne. I don't have a lot of knowledge of insects. In fact my bugs only have to categories....Photograph-able or swat-able! :bee:

Coincidentally, right as I clicked to post this, an ant crawled across my screen.

This is a cute little preying mantis that was on the front window of my building.

WEre these shot with the CoolPix? They are really good. My wife shoots with a L120 and when I do a little Post processing they are hard to tell from the DSLR shots sometimes.
