[Fince]

Thank you for the replies!

You give me an idea…

Next year i will try to find and take pictures from centipedes which native here.

These pictures taken by Canon EOS 30D camera body and Sigma 105mm f/2.8DG Macro lens (i using many different lenses but the most used lens is the Sigma 105mm at the fieldwork) with Sigma EM-140DG macro flash or (sometimes both) Canon 580EX Speedlight.

Thank you for your kind words!

If i remember well i didn’t used higher magnification than 1:1 at those photo. If your equippment has these features, not so difficult to take this type pictures (however was rather difficult work in the „headtall” nettle in this case). Need to adjust the focus manually, and shoot (with concrete hands ). I needed to do it quickly because the dragon flies don’t wait. Easier way to take photos from them in dawn or morning (when they slow), but i worked in the late afternoon when they were very fast.

Damsel flies, dragon fly wings rest in the horizontal plane while damsel fly wings rest in the vertical plane as seen in the pics.

Thank you for the correction! I didn’t know this expression in English.

So the Damsel flies = Zygoptera
and the Dragon flies = Anisoptera
