Very nice, Now i regret selling my macro lens 😂
tja het hoeft niet allemaal zo duur te zijn Laowa heeft hele goede macro lensen https://www.laowa.nl/laowa-extreem-macro/ en niet zo duur als een Canon of Sony macro lens maar minstens net zo goed 😉
Fantastic capture there Mick. I cant believe the spider has caught that bee or is it a wasp? for breakfast.
Thank you Steve , it was a bee served indeed
Nature is a harsh mistress.
that explains all the divorces i guess 🤣🤣
