I always assumed they moved with pressure changes and alert the fly to movement nearby…

100% crop of a hoverfly, taking using my sigma 105 f/2.8 along with flash and diy flash diffuser. Forgot to say I also used the Raynox DCR 250 on the end of the Sigma 105.

I forgot to mention, this was a single image, no stacking.

I am so happy that this thread keeps being updated!
It collects so many wonderful and inspiring macro shots!
I’ll try to contribute myself again very soon…

Cuckoo wasp spec. / Goudwesp spec.

Ah nice… looks a bit big. Doesn’t it scare bugs away ? i already got the problem even without something hanging over them. I also like my diffuser foldable for easier packaging in my backpack
The results are good though

Yes, I did find my diffuser a bit awkward, especially if there were bugs in amongst trees / bushes where branches got in the way! I would be interested in seeing your diffuser set up if you could @andabata

My very first extremely lucky shot, Canon 55-250mm with close-up lens (possibly a Canon 250D)(also a 100% crop):

Allow me to contribute a few more images.

Probably my favourite subject to photograph, besides pretty girls, is the jumping spider. Here we see several shots of two different females, so I guess it’s still pretty girls.
