Getting Lost in Tiny Worlds

I have a Canon T100 and just got a 100mm macro lens.

The one thing I have yet to get when I transcended from film to digital photography.

Makes me wonder about using purchasing a Canon adapter that would allow me the use of some of my old FD lenses with Macro capability on an EOS style mounting my Canon EOS 1000D.

Clearly the device exists, though I assume I'd be relegated to using it exclusively on a manual basis.

If you're saying it would only be a ~$25 investment to use what you have, it could be worth it to see if it's too cumbersome to only use manual focus. The fun/fascination payoff could make it well worth it.
 
I 🩶 spiders.
Thank you for eating the mosquitoes.

When Fly meets Autistic Girl, eye contact is really not a problem. This one turned right toward me and stared while I took the photo.

My best guess is that this is a Chrysopilus proximus, a type of snipe fly. Took awhile to narrow it down, but part of the fun is snapping a photo and then coming to the computer to track down just what it is.

Peck’s skipper butterfly. If I were a butterfly, I’d probably look a little grungy like this guy. Beauty comes in so many different flavors.

A non-biting midge of the Chironomini tribe. What intrigues me about this guy is the heart shape in it's overlapping wings and the mask-like face at the top of the thorax.

A parasitic wasp and a snail.

I do my best to never interfere with the things I see in the natural world, but the instinct to "help" can be so strong. Doubt that I'm actually helping and considering who I might be hurting usually stays my hand and I remain an observer. In this case, the snail seemed to be doing okay and the wasp was not able to get past its shell.
 
I've been smiling every time I see this cute photo. I was delighted to learn what this beetle is called.

Death-watch Beetle
