I got into macro photography through my love of nature and curiosity - it allowed me to see insects, for example, up close and learn their identity.
Now I just love it as a genre of photography.
Here are three shots done 'one-handed', for obvious reasons - the subjects are resting on the index finger of my left hand!
Focusing was difficult, to say the least, and while they're not technically brilliant shots, it was fun to do.
You try getting a grasshopper to sit still for long enough to take its picture!

In #3,
your finger print is shaper than the insect.
That makes it perfect for Scotland Yard!

You may well roll on the floor laughing your ass off, my friend, but try holding a Nikon DSLR with a 90mm lens steady while you move your other hand backwards and forwards so as not to disturb a damselfly - it ain't easy, I can tell you [emoji16] And as for Scotland Yard, they'll never take me alive!

… but she could have taken the shot,
had she learn to click!

What kind of monster is that btw?

It is a beetle larva (sadly not known to genus level but I guess something like a stag better). Sadly her dislike was such I don't think she couldn't have even have photographed it, although she only uses phones to take photos.
