Hola Bryan, that interposition is a bit tricky but, despite that, the camera has maintained focus very well..

Another little fly…

A not so little bee…

Not 100% sure - Google image search isn't working tonight and bing doesn't seem to give alternatives.
Anyway, bing says Eurema blanda, the three-spot grass yellow.

To free up some space I'm going through culling some stuff I never processed. There are many I should have done before - currently at late January...

I took a shot of this one perched. He flew off and in seconds was back with this Spider Wasp (I think) for lunch
I remember this shot. I am fairly sure his lunch is a Horse Fly I had just swatted - never seen them catch or attempt a Horse Fly before. Struggling to get it in...

That happened to me once with a damselfly: she disappeared for no more than two or three seconds, and reappeared with lunch 😮

This could just as easily be in the flower thread...

Another bee…

Bombylius major, on the ground…
… and in flight…

Daisy…

These are stingless native Australian bees according to google. Quite small - not much bigger than house flies
-
Anthocharis cardamines…
-
Nice looking specimen. Sharp and detailed!
-
I forgot to mention: Note the shutter speed and the wing blur. They have a very rapid wing beat...
-
I suppose the smaller the wing, the faster it beats...

Hi
I have just bought a pristine set of Nikon Bellows for a silly price, as I want to do something different. I want to create a series of details of my sprawling mechanical pencil collection. My old Nikon 50 is pretty dire on the bellows, and I have procured an old Nikkor Micro 55Ais on Fleabay, to improve things. It should arrive next week together with a reversing ring.
Here are my first efforts. They are all stacks. Just moving the camera forward a little seems to work.

You did a good job, those chrome surfaces can be a nightmare of reflections that need to be controlled...
