Taken earlier in the month in Calis beach, Turkey - on 1DMkII with 180 Tamron Macro, plus 1.4 converter, EF12 to make them fit
Very happy to post some more if you are interested and if they are up to standard...

I thought this poor thing was deformed – pleased to say that I have had the offending appendage confirmed as a rather large “poo” – must admit it was a first for me, I suppose we take them eating and this is just a later stage in the process…

Hi Mav - while I tend to use flash most of the time in the UK, these were all handheld, the intensity of the light in Turkey is such that you rarely need flash. A couple more for you…

Wonderful macro's! Thanks for sharing. :)
 
Great shots overall, I particular like the last in both posts, saving best till last are we?

First last -Shocking! is this DragonFly Foreplay or a Brotherly Brawl
Second Last - This is truly amazing, looking right at the camera.

You have talent my friend.

Steven.
