Welcome aboard! These are excellent pictures. :D

I think this means the big lens from the front of the binoculars, removed and used as a close-up lens in front of the camera's own built-in lens. Is this correct?

yes...but, it's not very big, it's only 36mm wide, and my camera lens is 58mm wide, so I made adapter :D and i allways use full zoom :D

Nice shots!

I think the fly in your second post is a midge/gnat of some kind, not a mosquito, the antennae and proboscis are all wrong for a mosquito...

Thank you for the pictures.

Your English is fine, by the way. No problem at all to understand it.

Welcome!

Great shots--definite evidence that your clever rig works well. Fun to see the insect pictures, and also the pictures of your rig.
