Wanted to find something good for the last day of the Species-A-Day challenge, but the diversity of insect species wasn't cooperating. Ended up shooting this green Lynx (yes, I already shot a lynx spider, but it was a different sub-species lol) and getting creative with the light. Held his leaf towards the sun so the light could diffract through the web tendrils, creating these dazzling rainbow colors
31 days, a different insect each day. Definitely fun, but certainly an exercise in patience! And I think I learned a thing or two about macro along the way. Success!

Please tell me what you think!

Congratulations, sir! I salute you! You are truly an inspiration. I shall strive to make my macro photography half as decent as yours. I've only got 4 days left to finish my 30-day challenge (not going for 31). It's been a fun challenge, but I'm looking forward to the end. I need a break.

They weren't all insects.
Really neat though. That's a very pretty green color...
