L7 is adult. :p If it has large wingbuds, it'd be L6, aka subadult. That is, if it is a female. If it's a male, it'd be subadult L5.

Yes, I know the feeling, Sometimes things just work out the way you want them to. Those are the times i'm glad for. Now I need to save for a nice macro lens, I was thinking of getting a 100 mm? Through I'm very happy with the one I have now. What mm is your macro my friend?

if u get 60mm 50mm 100mm or 105mm...these are fixed focal lens (true macro thats goes to 1:1 life size) only fixed focal macro lens do this..i have 60mm on order which does me full mantis shots and up to 1:1 life size..then i have the mpe-65 which is a special lens..its the only macro lens on the market that gores from 1:1-5:1..it only works on canons tho..if u get 60mm or 100mm the only difference your get is focal length..u wont need to be as close to the subject with the 100mm.the more mm it is the further your be away from the subject..get 60mm or 100mm wil do u fine.

 
Okay, So I'll start saving for a 70 mm. That way, It's between the 60 & 100. It would help to have a longer mm lens for taking pic's of rattle snakes.

Thanks again for the great info!
