Default Last of the Macros from Thailand

Good Morning DPS Family! Well these are the last of the Macros from Thailand, I'll have to get out this weekend and try to shoot something else. It's winter here and the bugs are just about non-existant, so I'll be shooting other things (Hopefully)

Libellula luctuosa (Widow Skimmer)

I think this is called a Longhorn Beetle.

Banded Fly. (at least that's what I call them

Finally a Spider I caught Knitting. So I'll just call it a Knitting Spider. When you look at the larger size, she appears to be Knitting, I don't think it's a Sweater. l.o.l

Well It's Wednesday already here and the week is going quickly. It's time for work so I'll close for now!
I hope you enjoy these and have a Blessed Day!
Michael

Great work. I definitely agree with fstopMike. The colours of the widow skimmer are really nice. Definitely my fave.

It'll never happen, but sometimes I feel that I'm running short of adjectives to adequately describe your pictures.
I like these Michael, the detail, the colour, the composition the everything, outstanding, you saved the best till last
