what you probably want is the lens, otherwise you can take the same pictures with any DSLR body!

the close up of the fly is a rober fly, sadly I have yet to find a scorpion fly, which is very high on my want list!

The mating pair is supposed to be ambush bugs, but not sure about any more details about them.

Take care

Joe, not too far actually, aside from the series I took in Cincinnati, all are done on the island of Monteal!

Also known as The Island of Dr. Moreau!:D

Those ambush bugs are wild Martin. They remind me of chameleons.
