Biollantefan54's Bug-Hunt Thread (PIC HEAVY)

[Biollantefan54]

First pic is another stereo image, it’s of some kind of tree flower. The next is a section showing the pollen area in it, the third is a stink bug that wondered into my room. I’m sure most people are familiar with the size of a stink bug so the image shows how big my field of view is with my setup. The final photo is an oribatid mite at around .6mm long. The tarsal claws are visible, I think they have 3 claws but it’s hard to tell if it’s a claw or setae im seeing.

I am amazed and impressed with the detail that can be seen in all these picture and they keep getting better.

Up first in some kind of tiny wasp, the colors are beautiful, it was so small I didn’t even know it was so colorful, second is a green lacewing, third is a really pretty weevil, 4th is a pseudoscorpion: Chthonius tetrachelatus, 5th is a whirligig mite, 5 is the eye of a fly, and last is a ballpoint pen.

Here are some new ones, the first one is a little surprising for me. I post my images to Reddit occasionally and this first ant portrait got over 65,000 upvotes there. I’ve never gotten anywhere near that many before and someone also wrote a little article about it! It’s funny to me because I take photos like this all the time so they don’t look that special to me and then one gets a lot of attention, I forget not everyone is used to seeing things this close haha!

Congratulations on the article! Well-deserved I must say. The level of patience that goes into this level of macro photography is incredible.

Thank you

I recently got a microscope but I haven’t gotten the stuff needed to take photos through my microscope yet with my camera. I’ve been using my phone though and I’ve found tons of cool stuff!
