nice shots. Love the one with Kermit's face.
 

Generally, all the shots are great. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::)
 

Very good shots for someone starting macro.

Very brave to go shoot night macro. make sure you have spare batteries and torch lights.

Would be good to number/label the pics with numbers for easy reference.

Continue shoot and post. look fwd to next one.
 

Thanks for the encouragement guys! Will go out and take more when time and weather permit!
 

After the heavy rain in the afternoon, decided to check my previous spot for day time macro to see if the leaves have grown and insects are back...

Weigh like a beast too... I need to start thinking of ways to reduce it..

Hahah just go gym more often and you will find that your setup is lighter.

Hahaha... Don't even have enough time to go bug hunting, where to find time for gym? my kids takes up most of my free time for now..
 

Have been raining non stop for the past weeks, hence didn't have the chance to go hunt for bugs. Managed to spend 1 hour hunting for bugs before the heavy rain in the afternoon

Decided to pay Mr Long nose weevil a visit but couldn't find a single 1 at the same old spot. Finally I know why, their home has been invaded by big ants. All of them got wiped :(
