Your macro work is very inspiring :thumbsup:. Thinking about situations and gear now...

EC14 Teleconverter selling at $750 if you check this web site. can't remember how much I paid for mine. with EC14, I can move back further more than one meter from these insects
but then I lost one stop for example at 300mm f5.6 stop down f8 (420mm with EC14)

#35 yellow stink bug taken in Chinese Garden - "Stink bugs are distinguished from other bugs by their 3rd thorax, or the triangular scutellum, which is well extended to cover half of their back, but not covered the whole abdomen. Their legs are thin and with no spines. The antennae are four or five segmented. Their body are usually in shield-shaped. Nymphs look similar to their adults except they are wingless. The 'stink' evil-smelling liquid comes from the bug's scent glands. In adults the scent gland openings are located under each side of thorax, between the first and second pair of legs. In nymphs the scent gland openings are paired and located on the top of abdomen. Those stink liquid will discourage or even harm the potential predators."
