Fly ID please

[Kev Lewis]

I spent awhile getting really close with a 150mm macro lens and 65mm of extension tubes, this is a full frame image. Boy are flies ugly ! but fascinating at the same time



Any suggestions for Id please

Kev, please tell me where I can get the 65mm extension tubes from? This is the type of image I'm after..It's stunningly detailed, and even got a fair degree of DOF.
As to what it is, No help I'm afraid.. Not too much there to aid id, at least as far as I know.

Just buy a stack of tubes Graham, I have a Canon 12mm one and a 13mm, 21mm and 31mm set of tubes supplied by Jessops. I can combine them into any length I want. Just make sure you get ones that retain all of the lens functions. Oh yeah and this close you need a ring flash or similar to get any light on the suject

Thanks Kev.. I'm still trying to think of a suitable reply to your moth image..

This was a general shot before I add all the tubes
