Advan - Nice pictures as always.

Sorry if it has been brought up but what camera are you using to get those amazing macro shots? Thanks

Thanks Matt! I have a few more eagle shots from this weekend. I will get out there when it isn't overcast one of these days.

Been awhile. It is finally warm enough that the bugs and spiders are coming out. Last Saturday Michael(papilio) and I went out to Fort Snelling State Park to find jumpers and other things to photgraph.

Beautiful shots Chad. From eagles ---> weevils and everything in between! I'm particularly fond of the spectacular damselfly / dragonfly shots. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Michael! FB does destroy images.

As an up-and-coming entomology student from Minnesota (aka the best state), this thread is so inspiring to me. I get so caught up in all these exotic bugs and reptiles that I sometimes forget to appreciate what's right under my nose. Thanks for sharing.

The second picture is something incredible and i think should be used with the Stars And Stripes flag in an official way, seriously.
Bravo.
