    Orchid and Mantis

    I actually have quite the odd setup. Not the usual DSLR+macro lens. I use a point and shoot. A bridge camera. A camera meant for taking pictures of birds from a distance or close ups of the moon. I realized this camera had 65x optical zoom and 210x digital zoom, so in theory, you could get...

    Flightless FF flying?

    The flying gene is surpresed, not totally wiped. People get "flightless" fruit flies through selective breeding.

    Orchid and Mantis

    Nice pic. Like how you used the flash to create the black backround, but I'm more of a white backround guy myslelf lol. The top petals edges are slightly out of focus so I suggest next time something like that happens you try to focus stack.
