It was in a residents irrigation box...not that big; big enough for me to pull a Matrix move on it though. The egg sac was probably the size of a chickpea.

I can't get as close as the photographers that own the MP-E65 lens, so I have to use extension tubes to get closer, but even then it doesn't have the magnification or clarity.

Still, I'll make do with it until I get another load of money (but that will have to be a lottery win not redundancy, lol)....

This is a cranefly, but it was at as awkward an angle as it could be, as it sheltered on the drier side of the garden fence, but I had to stand across the soil bed (very muddy) and shoot from slightly above to get the eyes, which made for harder positioning all round.

That's quite brilliant mate. You've got the macro lens I want but still I don't reckon I could do a photo like that.

Cheers buddy. Practice is what it takes, plus the little extension tubes, and a touch of Photoshop wizardry...

Spotted in the apple tree just by the blossom, this muscid fly (I think) may have posed or stayed longer had our cat not decided to join in climbing amongst the branches!
