This is my first attempt at focus stacking and studio photography, I built a whole janky light box and everything. I'm really happy with how it turned out. This guy is a Punctured Tiger Beetle. #BugSky #Photography #Macro #Entomology

Been a minute since I posted on here lol. Finally caught up with all my pictures, so I'll first start with a re-edit of this Bold Jumper #BugSky #Entomology #Photography #Macro

The weather is finally nice and I was able to get out and use my new lense. Here are a male and female Bold Jumping Spider (Phidippus audax) I got today #Arachnid #Entomology #Spider #Photography #Canon #Macro

This is some kind of sawfly, not sure which one though. This was taken with Canon's 180mm macro lense which has been a blast to use #Hymenoptera #Entomology #Photography #Sawfly #Canon #Macro

Got a flash diffuser for my camera, so I've been doing test shots with a cicada specimen I have and I'm soooo excited to get back outside and use it! The second picture has the focal point on the compound eye so you can see the details #Entomology #Photography #Insect #Cicada

It needs to be spring already! I bought a fancy new macro lense and don't have much to take pictures of with the freezing temps here in CO. In the mean time though, here's an Ichneumon wasp I spotted last year. Pretty sure it's a Therion circumflexum wasp. #Entomology #Photography #Insect #Wasp

Praying mantis are so much fun to take pictures of. Like jumping spiders, I feel like you can watch them think #Entomology #Insect #PrayingMantis #Photography

This is one of the first pictures I got with my camera, a species of Grass Spider. I'm pretty sure from the genus Agelenopsis but not 100%. Ever since getting my Canon EOS 70D I've fallen in love with wildlife photography, especially on the macro scale. #Photography #Entomology #Spider

Gotta love a good longhorn beetle, especially one as stunning as the Locust Borer (Megacyllene robiniae) #Entomology #Insect #Bug #LonghornBeetle

I really enjoy getting pictures of almost any hymenopteran. They are super misunderstood and very fun to watch. This is a species of Prionyx wasp I found last year! #Entomology #Wasp #Bug #Insect

This is one of the first pictures I was really proud of. The Jagged Ambush Bug (Phymata americana coloradensis). These guys are super fun to watch hunt! #Entomology #Photography #Insect #Bug

Jumping spiders are one of my favorite subjects. Pretty certain this spider is in the genus Phidippus. I'm not sure of the species though, maybe it's a Bold Jumper? #JumpingSpider #Entomology #Photography #Spider

Another insect I found on my trip to #GlacierNationalPark last year, a massive polyphemus moth caterpillar (Antheraea polyphemus). This is definitely one of my favorite pictures I've taken #Entomology #Insects #Photography #Moth
