Ant on paper and leaf
I don't know the species, this being the first time I had one dried. They scurry about too fast to get a stack in the wild.

Shadow darner thorax
Inspired by Charles Kreb's post, I tried one this morning.
Pau, there's a cat in this one, too.
Ayyy! The dust! I "picked" some of the worst out with Photoshop, but left plenty.

Thanks for the motivation to improvement in my own shots of one of these. Mine is a shadow darner, and it looks like yours is very similar, if not the same species. I just looked at the back of mine (never paid attention to it before!) and saw the intricate details there. I think I will try a shot l...

Conidia
I assume that these are conidia on the specimen's tail end. Nikon BE Plan 10X, with light that could use more diffusion. :( Being midnight when this was done, and since it wasn't the best, I didn't spend any time with retouching and cleaning up. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/4433_con...

Rosy maple moth
Rosy maple moth that dried in an interesting way. Looks like a mug shot of bigfoot, or perhaps the newest Halloween costume.

Shadow darner
What do you do when your 15-year-old son out-shoots you? First image mine, second his. Of course, he could learn from my mistakes: not enough diffusion, dirty specimen, too much magnification. Mine was done with a 4X Nikon with the tube lens turned back to 70 mm. He used a 20mm extension tube on a 5...

Searching this site for "cleaning insects" gave me 9 hits. Troels Thanks, Troels. I had searched on here, but I got way too many hits for my search terms. I think I used boolean AND rather than quotes, but not sure what I did. Using the quoted search term definitely narrowed it down from my previou...

A very common fly-killing fungus http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/mar2000.html Thanks, NikonUser! Exactly what I was looking for! To the others who responded, sorry for my extreme ignorance about bacteria. :oops: I did study biology in, let's see, about 5th grade. That was a few decades ago....
