With the weevil photo, I'd say the problems are definitely to do with movement. Try using flash from a few directions, diffused through foam cups, but also shield the equipment from external light sources such as windows and ceiling lights. Also remember that your camera has a huge lever on it (the ...

I have no experience with mirrorless cameras but I'd dearly love a camera shutter that didn't die after 10 months and take the sensor with it! We get through so many camera bodies at the NHM that they have to be considered "consumables", which is ridiculous. Just my 2c, but at the NHM Dawn Painter h...

In my experience, with tachinids, they usually have hairs across the whole eye surface but they are easily rubbed off when the fly grooms or it gets damaged in life. They can be annoyingly difficult to resolve though and often you have to hunt for them against the right backround and lighting. :) I'...

I've never had a problem running "Avast! AntiVirus" and "SpyBot Search & Destroy" on all of my PCs and laptops (dozens over the years). It actually caught a new virus that a friend's corporate install of Sophos hadn't spotted - his laptop put the virus on a USB stock and my laptop caught it every ti...

these are all taken with the MP-E 65 at f3.5, just me and the camera and anything I can find to lean on. I tend to focus through the viewfinder so I'm moving through the focus of what I can see with the aperture full open (which in the case of this lens is f2.8) and so I will take more shots as I c...

I would guess that they have some sensory purpose but they are probably not very important because within the same groups some flies have the hairs and others have none (or very few hairs) and they seem to have no great disadvantage. There are even some genera where some species have hairs and other...
